I'm in no position to analyse it either, but if psi exists and can be selected for by evolution, doesn't this imply that an AI (or even just a brute force algorithm on the right track) can optimise for it too?
So that's something to consider if there turns out to be anything substantial behind all this.
Would seem to follow, if it's the case that PSI exists and PSI is a physical phenomenon. Goertzel's got something on this.
Depending on exactly what kind of interaction of physics and computing would be going on, the algorithm might need to search through different physical configurations of its sensors or substrate. I'm reminded of this experimental result, where a circuit evolution process that was supposed to make an oscillator component came up instead with a circuit that couldn't produce anything by itself, but did act as a radio receiver that could pick up a suitable oscillating signal from a nearby computer.
