Andrew Gallimore

Andrew Gallimore is one of the critics catalogued on this site's critiques page, where the strongest cases against the reality-code reading are stated in their strongest form. His account is the laser speckle explanation, published as an essay and linked from that page.

The laser speckle explanation

The diffracted 650 nm beam produces speckle, a physically real, structured optical pattern generated by interference of coherent light scattered from a rough surface. DMT amplifies pattern recognition. Under this account, the shared structure that observers report reflects shared optics rather than any external code being revealed.

Testable prediction: swapping the diffraction grating for one with a different line density should change the reported forms in a way that tracks the new speckle field.

Where this sits in the record

This site states the laser speckle account first among the alternatives to the reality-code reading, alongside cymatics and cultural priming, on both the critiques page and the protocol guide. Independent controlled replication that isolates the 650 nm wavelength as a variable has not been published. That is a fact about the state of the field, not a charge against anyone.
