The physics of Psionics

With respect to Awareness, and possibly, telepathy, you might want to read Jim Corbett's accounts of hunting man-eating tigers and also John Taylor's accounting of hunting in Africa. Both of those gentlemen possessed something very close to if not actual, Awareness.


Bullfeathers.

Awareness in Traveller has to do with control of one's body and not a heightened awareness of one's surroundings.

Depending on the level achieved, Awareness allows a character to enter a state of suspended animation, add to their current strength or endurance, or heal wounds. Neither of the gentlemen you mentioned could do anything like that.

The abilities possessed by Corbett and Taylor could perhaps best be modeled in T5 by heightened sense or perception characteristics.
