Ontological Pluralism about Entities
From the public record
Where this comes from
- Kind of claim: Ontological. The forms indicate something real outside the observer.
- Framework by: David Luke
- Applied to this phenomenon by: DMT Code editors (2026)
- Written about this phenomenon: no. This framework was built for another purpose and is applied here by this site. Its author made no claim about a laser.
Hallucination, psi, and genuinely other minds all remain on the table. The data does not yet force a verdict and pretending otherwise is bad method.
David Luke has spent two decades cataloguing entity encounter research and argues for keeping multiple ontologies live while the evidence is immature. This is less a theory than a discipline for holding theories, and it is close to this project's own stance: radical neutrality with real data collection. Luke's public comments on the laser phenomenon are catalogued in the research library.
