Yes, Virginia, there is a Cosmic Awareness

It occured to me just moments ago that Santa Claus would be a good candidate for Cosmic Awareness, as outlined in the V&V rules.

The song "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" tells us that Santa sees when we're sleeping and knows when we're awake. He also knows if we've been bad or good.

This either/or dynamic is well-suited for the way Cosmic Awareness works in V&V. Santa asks, "Is Keith sleeping?" (If the answer is no, then Santa knows Keith is awake. Or vice versa.)

Santa asks, "Has Tracy been bad?" (If the answer is no, then Santa knows Tracy has been good. Or vice versa.)

Because of the yes/no exclusivity of Cosmic Awarenss, Santa cannot intuitively know which gifts children want for Christmas. They must write him letters or visit him at Macy's.

The film "Miracle on 34th Street" suggests that Santa's knowledge areas include Communication (he's multilingual) and Business/Sales (he's fully versed in the product lines available at Gimbels department store).

Nope, he has mutant power: able to deliver gifts around the world in one night.  He has 2 weaknesses too.  First is special requirement: must eat milk and cookies at 90% of his stops.  Second is low self-control: only one night per year.
