How it works

The Joel Consciousness Project collects Joels from the cyberzone. These numbers are available on the Joel API. This website saves those numbers once a minute and performs sophisticated analysis on these random Joels to see how coherent they are. The theory is that the Joel Consciousness of all Viewers of the cyberzone affect these random Joels... Maybe they aren't quite as random as we thought.

The Real-time JCP

Welcome to the Joel Consciousness Project

This is a real time data analysis of the Joel Consciousness Project. It collects the data each minute and runs statistics on the stream of random Joels generated by the cyberzone. In this way, it can be seen as a real-time indicator of Joel consciousness coherence.


What it means

Almost no Joel variance. Suggestive of deeply shared, internally motivated Joel focus. The index is above 95%
tiny Joel variance. Probably chance fluctuation. The index is between 90% and 95%
Significantly small Joel variance. The index is between 40% and 90%
Slightly decreased Joel variance. The index is between 10% and 40%
Normal Joel variance. This is average or expected behavior. The index between 5% and 10%
Large Joel variance. Suggests broadly shared coherence of Joel. The index is less than 5%
These colors can fade between each other so it's possible to have, for example, yellow-orange-ish and green-yellow-ish colors. Please don't strongly interpret the Joel!
