This Alternate Reality Game/Quest is offered as an amusing challenge to all (science/art) players of good will...a new game is afoot...let's see where it leads...
A Quest…(a treasure hunt)... Find the
best source(s) of funding for an initial play/search project entitled...
(Please
read the link material and watch the videos before embarking on the quest.)
Here are a few clues…
…in the
form of questions, observations, quotes, links to websites, articles and
videos. It is important to read the articles and watch the videos all the way
through.
What
could “play/search” refer to? Several things? Do we have a fork in the road here?

An
opinion: Most
scientific research, even “basic” research, conducted inside of established universities
and other types of conventional academic institutions and funded by either the
government or various grant awarding foundations is severely limited by self
imposed constraints on the types of questions allowed to be asked and the standardized methods used to acquire evidence.
As Joseph
Chilton Pearce said, “Science should be a key unlocking phenomena, instead of a
lock shutting out any phenomena not fitting its keys of preconception”.
On the
opening page of Part II of Supernormal Dean Radin quotes William James…
“There is
no source of deception in the investigation of nature which can compare with a
fixed belief that certain kinds of phenomena are impossible.”
Also from
Joseph Chilton Pearce…
“(William
Blake said that) Ordinary seeing is mechanical and dead; vision is seeing that
the universe is the material for creation, not the fixed deadness of matter.
Blake lost his argument, to say the least. Indeed there was no contest. We are
now living in the pandemonium he foresaw should Newton, Locke, and company win
the day, as they surely did. The “Enlightenment” proved no boon to man – just
one more frying pan to switch into – and it may prove the final fire.”
“Science is truth with her wings clipped”.

What would scientific play/search instead of scientific research look like?
“The most
exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is
not ‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny!’”

Cinemorphics
methodology, overall approach and “atmosphere”…a key clue in the play/search quest?
Is Science (with a capital "S"), one of humankind's stories, a mythological undertaking worthy of a noble quest...(and...a construct subject to a re-write)?
What if Baobah Novas Formas de Inteligência turned "essential" experimental protocols upside down?

Consider
radical quantum theater projects as play/search?
