depend on the level of precision you need. The process is called empathy.
resonance. you can 'feel' them and 'know' without actual interaction.
Requires some degree of previous correlation, a la Bell's inequality! :-)
Some point to work done with identical twins but this needs more research.
Gets into the abstraction of the concept of tuning. Like a struck guitar
string so surfaces in the immediate environment resonate if tuned to the
same frequency as the string.
There is a wave emphasis here in that the wave gets through walls, (and so
memes travel by wave, get through your object oriented defences :-))
