A speculative framework that attempts to propose specific, testable mechanisms for how paranormal phenomena (telepathy, precognition, psychokinesis) might operate within or alongside known physics. It goes beyond merely asserting "psi exists" to ask how: Could it be a quantum entanglement effect in neural microtubules? A subtle, unknown energy field? It's an attempt to build a bridge between anomalous reports and mechanistic science, often borrowing concepts from frontier physics.
Example: "His Paranormal Mechanics Theory proposed that telepathy works via ultra-low-frequency electromagnetic waves generated by coherent neural firing, a 'brain radio' others can subconsciously tune into. It was wrong, probably, but it was a mechanistic guess—a hypothesis about the nuts and bolts of the weird, which is more than most ghost hunters ever offer."

This includes classifications of hauntings, models of ESP, or frameworks for UFO encounters. It's less concerned with the specific "how" of mechanics and more with building a coherent narrative or taxonomy for the anomalous, often relying on patterns in anecdotal data.
Example: "The researcher's Paranormal Theory didn't specify a mechanism. Instead, it proposed that poltergeist activity correlates with adolescent emotional stress in a household, categorizing it as 'recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis' (RSPK). It was a pattern-based framework that organized mysteries, not a physics-based explanation of them."
