This paper describes a theory explaining precognition literally as the “pre-cognition” of information contained within the percipient’s brain in the future—a link with his or her future experience of the event. The theory is based on the block universe model, in which past and future events already exist in the space-time continuum, as required by the special theory of relativity. Bohm’s theory of the implicate order is compatible with such a model, and it suggests that if similar structures are created at different locations in space and time, the structures resonate with a tendency to become more similar to one another. The principles are applied to the neuronal spatiotemporal patterns that are activated in the brain. Precognition is considered to be the fundamental phenomenon of ESP and manifests as information transfer from the brain in the future to the same brain in the present. The model allows also for the possibility of contacts with other brains, and these contacts would occur either in real-time or at different times. However, direct contacts with external objects or events are considered not to occur at all. The mechanism is applied to experiments in precognition, and it explains the apparent anomalies found in the results.
