Tracking the Quantum Shift: The Viewers Saw it in 2025, and There is Much More to Come
In April 2025, the FFG team — Edward Riordan, Dick Allgire, Daz Smith, Nyiam Vendryes, and Derek — ran multiple blind sessions tasked to observe Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum chip and describe its development and uses through the 2025–2030 window. The sessions were conducted under standard double-blind protocol, with viewers having no knowledge of the target at time of session.
Fourteen months later, several signals have clear structural confirmation. The announcement of Majorana 2 on June 2, 2026 — a system described as 1,000x more reliable than its predecessor — creates a natural review point. More importantly, two open signals from that session carry direct relevance to positioning decisions the community is already navigating: one touching encryption vulnerability and crypto infrastructure, the other a larger-scale event cluster that Daz marked on a decade-forward timeline as a "signature event."
The purpose of reviewing confirmed signals is to calibrate weight on the unresolved ones. That calibration has operational value right now.
