Research in progress

Not one that works across science, medicine, culture, indigenous knowledge, and everyday life at the same time.
Researchers in physiology and researchers in consciousness studies can spend years investigating the same element and never find common ground, because the frameworks they are working from were never designed to speak to each other.

That gap has consequences. It slows down collaboration. It creates blind spots. It means that knowledge about water accumulates in silos rather than building into something larger and more useful than any single discipline could produce alone.

An ontology is a formal answer to that problem. It is a structured map of concepts, categories, and the relationships between them: a shared vocabulary that allows different fields, different cultures, and different ways of knowing to reason together. Think of it as the foundation beneath a conversation that is long overdue.

What makes this project unique is not the exploration of new fields of knowledge, but the integration of existing ones. There is already a wealth of knowledge regarding human water balance, fluid intake, and the importance of water for health and well-being. However, this knowledge is scattered across various disciplines, research fields, and areas of practice. What is missing is a common framework that brings this knowledge together, makes it understandable, and renders it usable for research, education, and practical application. This is precisely where this project comes in.

As soon as an initial version is available, it will be made available to researchers, experts, educators, and communities working with water across all disciplines. We will publish further information as the project progresses.

Does water have consciousness?
Whether water can store information or even possesses a form of ‘consciousness’ has been a subject of debate for years.

Insights into this have been provided by, amongst others, the Japanese scientist Dr Masaru Emoto and the water researcher Veda Austin.

Emoto was the first to demonstrate, through his photographs of ice crystals, that water reacts to influences such as words, music or prayers by altering its structure; Austin has developed her own method for this and has been systematically researching for many years how specific patterns emerge in the process.

The resulting findings are visible and verifiable, yet they are viewed controversially within mainstream science and cannot yet be conclusively explained.

Building on these unanswered questions, we aim to investigate whether and under what conditions water can absorb and store information, and play a role in the human body when consumed. As the body consists largely of water, this would have far-reaching implications for our understanding of health, cell communication and the fundamental processes of life.

To find precise answers, an interdisciplinary approach is required, drawing on physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and alternative medicine. The aim is to investigate these interrelationships in a structured manner, including the potential influence of modern environmental factors such as electromagnetic fields (including mobile communication standards such as 4G, 5G and 6G).

The goal is to establish a robust foundation that opens up new perspectives for prevention, health and practical applications - for millions of people worldwide.
