Target coordinates
Random numbers that create a mental bridge to remote viewing targets. Not GPS coordinates.
Target coordinates are the foundation of blind remote viewing protocols, providing a neutral reference point that prevents bias while allowing your mind to perceive distant targets.
What are target coordinates?
Target coordinates are random number pairs like 4821-7293 or 1536-8924 that serve as reference points for remote viewing targets. These numbers are completely random and have no inherent meaning or connection to real-world locations.
The coordinate system was developed during the Stanford Research Institute remote viewing program as a way to task viewers without giving them any information about the target. This maintains the blind protocol that is essential to verifiable remote viewing.
Example coordinate
This random number pair is the only information you receive about your target before beginning your session.
Not GPS coordinates
A common misconception is that remote viewing coordinates represent GPS locations, latitude/longitude pairs, or geographic map references. This is not correct.
✗ Not geographic
Coordinates do not point to places on Earth
✗ Not GPS
They have no relationship to satellite navigation
✗ Not searchable
You cannot look them up in any database
✗ Not meaningful
The numbers themselves contain no information
Remote viewing coordinates are purely arbitrary identifiers. They could just as easily be words, colors, or symbols. The numbers are chosen simply because they are neutral and easy to generate randomly.
How coordinates create a mental connection
The coordinate system works through a process called tasking. When a coordinate is assigned to a target, that association is established in a way that your subconscious mind can access, even though your conscious mind has no information about what the target is.
1Random generation
A completely random number pair is generated. The randomness ensures no patterns or subconscious cues leak through to the viewer.
2Target assignment
The coordinate becomes linked to a specific target in a database or by a tasker. This creates the association between the number and the target.
3Subconscious access
When you focus on the coordinate during your session, your subconscious mind can access information about the target through this neutral reference point.
4Conscious perception
Your impressions, images, and sensations about the target emerge into conscious awareness as you work through your remote viewing protocol.
Why random numbers work
The effectiveness of the coordinate system was validated through decades of research at Stanford Research Institute and in the government's Stargate Project. Researchers found that random coordinates were superior to other methods for several reasons:
- ✓Prevents analytical overlay — Random numbers give your conscious mind nothing to grasp onto, reducing mental interference
- ✓Eliminates front-loading — Because the numbers contain no information, viewers cannot accidentally gain clues about the target
- ✓Creates psychological distance — The abstract nature helps viewers access intuitive information rather than imagination
- ✓Maintains blind protocol — Complete randomness ensures the viewer truly has no knowledge of the target
Research finding: Studies at SRI showed that viewers performed equally well whether they knew the coordinate system was random or believed it had meaning. This demonstrates that the numbers function as neutral anchors rather than carrying actual information.
How coordinates work on Social RV
On Social RV, target coordinates are generated using cryptographically secure random number generation. Each coordinate is permanently linked to a specific target in our database.
- •Random assignment — When you request a target, the system randomly selects from your active target pool
- •Blind tasking — You only see the coordinate until after submitting your session
- •Cryptographic sealing — Optional blockchain verification proves you couldn't have known the target beforehand
- •Permanent record — Each coordinate remains associated with its target for comparison and analysis
