Piza de Toledo's paired comparison experiments found surprising and profound inter-observer agreement about which of two things has more life

• We seem to have a fundamental observation - so far unexplained - that among pairs of events, bits of space, places, and particles of existence, we can usually judge that one has a greater degree of life and the other less, at least according to our feeling.quote0.776
  Summarizes the empirical bedrock of the whole argument.
• The feeling that there is more life in one case than another is correlated with a structural difference in the things themselves, which can be made precise and measured.claim0.767
  Forward‑looking claim that the life quality has an objective basis, to be demonstrated later.
• Alexander's experiments showed different people can agree on which actions are more structure-preserving or life-bearingfinding0.765
  Repeated experiments demonstrating that people of good will can reach substantial agreement about the life of a design decision.
• Paired Comparison for Degree of Lifemethod0.760
  Experimental method where subjects choose which of two items has more life, yielding agreement and a relative measure of life.
• Illuminated manuscript experiment: strong agreement that illuminated manuscript had more life than postmodern auditorium detailfinding0.758
  Result from another student experiment comparing a medieval manuscript to a contemporary wall detail.
• Schrödinger's thought experiment suggests that color sensation might directly penetrate the realm of the single mind or ground, and inner light intensifies this bridge.claim0.747
• Mirror experiment cross-cultural agreement: people consistently choose the same objects as resembling their eternal self.finding0.743
  In the mirror-of-the-self experiments, people from the same culture and even different cultures agree to a significant extent on which objects embody their eternal self.
• Bell's theorem: experiments by Aspect, Clauser, and Freedman show instantaneous correlations between distant quantum particles, violating local realism.finding0.743
  A foundational empirical result undermining mechanistic separability, cited as evidence that the whole influences local events.
