The Phase-based Studies of T-Consciousness Fields in Sciencefact.
Sciencefact,[1] is taking an unprecedented step by introducing T-Consciousness as a non-material and non-energetic constituent of the universe that can be experienced through the application of T-Consciousness Fields in various areas of science. In the methodology of modern science, laboratory experiments have always been the foundation of research, and their results have served as reliable and firm criteria for accepting or rejecting hypotheses. Sciencefact, as a new field of scientific study, shares a common ground with modern science, in that it too conducts experiments on matter and energy. Therefore, with the aim of investigating and verifying the effect and the mechanism of T-Consciousness Fields, the following process and steps are suggested to achieve scientific findings and to design testing methods in the field of Sciencefact:
Phase 0 Studies – Investigating the existence and effects of T-Consciousness Fields: In this phase, the aim of the study design is to investigate merely the effect (regardless of its application) on the study system in reproducible, standard laboratory experiments. The results of this phase, first and foremost, confirm the existence of T-Consciousness Fields in a standard and limited study. The important factor in the studies of this phase is simplicity; the elimination of multiple and diverse variables with the aim of reaching more direct conclusions and analysis to confirm the existence of T-Consciousness Fields. The proper experimental design with minimal variables, confirmation of reproducibility of the study results, and meticulous presentation of the designed test conditions while detailing the effects of T-Consciousness fields are among the essential and distinct factors in the studies of this phase.
Phase I Studies – Investigating the varied effects of different T-Consciousness Fields:
After completing phase zero (studying T-Consciousness Fields and designing a standard experiment to confirm their existence) the next step of Sciencefact studies deals with the types of T-Consciousness Fields and the potential variety of responses in the studied system. In this stage, after having confirmed the existence of T-Consciousness Fields (in phase zero), researchers explain the variation in the responses as a result of exposure to T-Consciousness Fields, and describe the results observed in the studied system based on justifiable and repeatable scientific documentation. Stating the standard conditions of study, detailing the effects of T-Consciousness Fields, and providing accurate reports of the effects of various T-Consciousness Fields on the system under study (utilizing approved statistical tests) are among the key factors in this phase (without secondary interpretations of the mechanism of action and by focusing exclusively on what has been observed).
Phase II Studies – Investigating the reason behind the [types of] effects of T-Consciousness Fields: This phase establishes consistency between the results of the study and the theoretical basis of Taheri’s teachings that introduce T-Consciousness Fields and their function. While meeting the objectives of phase zero and I, the researchers present proper and accurate analysis to give an account of corresponding relations between the basis of the reported results and the fundamentals of Taheri’s teachings with clarity and according to the approved standards of Sciencefact in terms of the special topic of T-Consciousness. For example, in phase II cell studies, after having observed the proliferation of cells in the cell culture medium and presenting data confirming the existence of the T-Consciousness Fields, and after reporting the possible variation of the effects of T-Consciousness Fields, we begin to explain the results based on the principles of T-Consciousness that governs the cell inside the culture medium. Accuracy in establishing a correct and precise correspondence between the obtained results and the Source texts of Taheri’s teachings (without the researcher's personal impression) is crucial and among key factors in this phase.
Phase III Studies - Investigating the mechanism of T-Consciousness Fields’ effects: The most advanced types of experiments designed in the study of T-Consciousness Fields are phase III experiments. In these studies, after completing the previous three stages in the preliminary phases and conducting additional and validating tests by researchers, the mechanism of the T-Consciousness Fields’ effects on the studied system is meticulously examined. Among the prerequisites for this phase are rigorous experimental design, sufficient and well-reasoned analysis in accordance with the scientific method, and sufficient command of the principles of Taheri’s teachings and the fundamentals of T-Consciousness Fields. In this phase, it will be possible to propose a new scientific theory based on empirical evidence.
Phase IV Studies – Drawing macro-conclusions pertaining to the mind and memory of matter, etc.

4. Further Details about Artworks
4.1. Table Formats
All figures and tables require a caption. Ensure you apply the same format as the main text with visible grid lines and editable text. Merged cells within a table are acceptable only for column headings. Use NA when no data were collected or available or as an indication of not applicable. Tables should be clear with no multiple parts (e.g., I, II, etc.). Use a new row for a separate line rather than using soft returns. Provide the table with a concise, descriptive title. In addition, to help understand the data, provide further information by using legends and footnotes if it is required. Finally, spell out all abbreviations and acronyms in the table and put them in a list.
4.2. Format of Figures
- All figures will be reformatted to match the journal style if necessary.
- If you are using a specific color coding in a figure, please clearly mention it from the earliest point. Use distinct colors for comparison while considering colour-blind individuals by not using red and green for contrasts. Use solid colour rather than hatch patterns and background shading. In serial figures, apply consistent scale if applicable.
- If you submit your own color digital image, fix the setting of your camera on the highest quality mode. If you use a scanned image, ensure the scanner setting is on ‘DESCREEN’ mode, and ‘no sharpening’ is selected.
- It is not acceptable to make changes such as moving, removing, degrading, enhancing, or obscuring a feature in a figure except editing the figures for color adjustment, contrast, or brightness for quality reasons.
4.3. Graph Formats
Color graphs are preferred, especially when very cluttered or complex. Low-quality images are not accepted as the resolution would not align with the journal criteria. Please make sure hand-drawn sketches are clear and legible with appropriate referencing. In serial graphs with identical axes, apply consistent scaling and axis tick marks if applicable. Use ‘sentence case’ with no full stop for labelling of axes.
