How Woo-Woo Works - A Systems Approach to Patterns, Perception, the Human Interface, and Psi Phenomena #969139

How Woo-Woo Works is a cross-disciplinary exploration of human perception, examining experiences often dismissed as “woo-woo” through the lens of systems science, engineering, and embodied awareness.
Rather than treating these experiences as either mystical truth or irrational belief, Dr. Linda Tello reframes them as perceptual events that lack complete explanatory models. The book introduces a clear working definition: “woo-woo” refers to experiences perceived through the human nervous system for which the source is not yet measurable or fully understood. 
From this foundation, the text explores how meaning arises through interaction rather than observation. Drawing on principles from physics, neuroscience, and communication theory, it examines fields, boundary conditions, signal processing, and coherence as key factors shaping perception.
The work also integrates Indigenous knowledge systems—particularly the Andean Q’ero cosmology—not as belief structures, but as place-based frameworks developed through long-term interaction with environment and pattern. These systems are presented as parallel models of structured knowledge, offering insight into relational perception and embodied awareness.
Key themes include:

• Perception as an interface between organism and environment
• The role of coherence, rhythm, and physiological regulation
• Geometry and pattern as carriers of information
• The distinction between experience and explanation
• Cross-cultural recurrence of perceptual phenomena

This book does not seek to prove or disprove extraordinary claims. Instead, it offers a disciplined framework for inquiry—one that allows readers to engage with unexplained experience while maintaining analytical rigor.
