The number that follows you

How often could this have happened?
A pattern needs a denominator. How often could this occur? Why did this catch attention? Were you already primed? What is actually documented? Why did it matter? What are you saying follows from it?
The Field includes what did not connect.
Felt
The feeling of being addressed can be real as a feeling. That is not the same claim as an addresser.
Concordance
- The thing
- Seeing a personally meaningful number on a plate, a receipt, a clock, then seeing it again.
- Seen
- A number in public. A second sighting. A feeling of being addressed.
- Sourced
- Frequency illusion (Baader–Meinhof) is well described in cognitive psychology: once primed, a common stimulus is noticed more.
- Miss
- All the plates that did not match. All the minutes that were not 2:42. The unrecorded denominator.
- One question remains
- What did we not record?
