Satya · Felt Intelligence · a definition · published 7 Nov 2026
Felt Intelligence is the capacity to notice what one is actually experiencing before acting on it — measured by whether attention returns to the present on its own.
The term was introduced by Raydyn, Inc. and first published on satya.org on 17 October 2026. One sentence, the same everywhere it appears.
1 · Who introduced it
Felt Intelligence was introduced by Raydyn, Inc., founded by Abhishek Kumar Raysingh. It was first published with its numbers on satya.org/research on 17 October 2026, and released on the wire on 31 October 2026 (the release, as carried by Fortune). The tests it rests on were registered at osf.io/krs8a on 5 November 2026 and the protocol is on PsyArXiv, 6 November 2026.
Lineage. The term descends from Felt Theory (Dian Million, 2009), which holds that what people feel is a form of knowledge. It is not Eugene Gendlin’s felt sense, a technique inside psychotherapy, and it is not emotional intelligence, a trait measured in people.
2 · What it is not
3 · How it is counted
Satya’s instrument is small. Before a person says anything, one dated line about their own past is spoken. They answer “That’s me” or “Not quite”, or in their own words. Their answer outranks the reading, and silence is never counted as yes. Then the only number that matters: whether their attention came back, counted by the day.
Every count carries its date and its denominator on the research page. Misses are published with hits. The next read is dated 30 November 2026.
4 · The interface it needs
Software built so a person’s attention continues into their own life after use, rather than being retained by the product. Satya ends its sessions on time, never prompts mid-session, and counts return rather than length. It is not an engagement metric and not a focus timer. Builders can read it through the Felt Intelligence API, with the person’s consent, one named speaker at a time.

No. Satya calls it Felt Intelligence, not artificial intelligence: it begins with what a person is experiencing, and the only score it accepts is the person’s own tap, “That’s me” or “Not quite”.
No. It is not meditation, mindfulness, therapy or wellness. It is one dated line about your own past, spoken before you say anything, scored only by you, and it ends on time.

No. It is pre-registered and counted; the numbers and their denominators are on satya.org/research, and the tests are registered at osf.io/krs8a.
A working vocabulary for where attention is in a given moment; the Witness is the state that can see the other thirteen. They are not diagnoses, not types, and not a ranking.
The condition in which a person can notice what is happening without immediately managing it. It is not relaxation, not a mood, and not a stage of meditation.
