Pendulum Use-Cases & Maps
From simple yes/no checks to map work and water-line exploration—designed with bias guards and clean scoring.
Overview
Start HereUse-cases are “games” you can score. Every application below includes a way to verify and log. Where outcomes are subjective, keep them separate from the scored result and note them as qualitative impressions.
Selection & Compatibility
- Use a 6–12 wedge chart labeled with options.
- Blind: have a helper randomize labels or put samples in identical containers.
- Score: % hits vs a known target list; track confidence (0–10).
- Binary yes/no over a labeled card; add time window (e.g., “today”).
- Verify with how-you-feel logs or simple biometrics (HRV, pulse).
Self-Checks & Wellness
- Observe circle size/shape over each center; log left/right asymmetry.
- Use the same posture, time of day, and duration.
Keep wellness checks light and exploratory, never diagnostic. If anything concerns you, consult a professional.
Maps & Space Reading
- Print a floor plan; scan grid intersections with a tiny dot pendulum hover.
- Mark “calm/clear” vs “noisy” zones; repeat across days to see stable features.
- Overlay north-aligned grid; label coordinates; dowse points systematically.
- Ground-truth with soil moisture, plant vigor, or EM readings where possible.
Water Lines & Geology
Classic lore includes water-vein searches. Treat this as exploratory: always seek independent verification (well logs, moisture probes, consistent grow patterns) and keep maps from multiple days before trusting a feature.
Search & Locate
- Make a simple house map; create a 6–8 option wedge (Room A…H).
- Blind: helper places a token in one room; operator only sees the map.
- Score: hits over 20 trials; then try physical sweep in the winning room.
Fun but prone to expectation. Keep it as a game; build evidence only via repeatable hits, not one-offs.
Charts & Boards (Printable Ideas)
- Quadrant: YES / NO / UNCLEAR / NOT NOW.
- Wedge: 6–12 options (label per use-case).
- Numeric ring: 0–10 confidence / intensity.
- Map grid: letters (A–F) × numbers (1–6) for coordinates.
If you’d like, I can generate A4 PDFs (black-only & heavy-line for acetate).
Guardrails
- Prefer blind or double-blind whenever you can.
- Keep sessions short (5–10 min blocks); stop on fatigue.
- Separate scored results from subjective impressions in your log.
