Regarding the reiki, do the negative values indicate that more light is coming out of the water than was shined through to begin with?

Yes, oddly enough it seems that the water became MORE transparent for the visible through ir range, especially the ir.


Regarding peroxide, my impression is that in regular EIS the particles are not metallic silver but are clumps of silver oxide/hydroxide molecules. If so, could you explain how silver in this state becomes metallic, which would be necessary to fit in line with the observation that only 1 configuration is possible with 2, 3, and 4 atom colloids. That statement for example would not make sense if the particles are still composed of compounds.

H2O2 is a redux operator, that is it is both an oxidizer and reducer. It will oxidize silver particles, producing silver silver oxide, and will reduce silver oxide to 2 particle silver particles. The final result is that most larger particles of silver get broken up and form either ionic silver or 2, 3 or 4 atom particles.

oxidation:
2Ag  + 2H2O2 = Ag2O2 + 2H2O

reduction:
Ag2O2 + 2H2O2 = 2Ag + 2H2O + O2

The result is the breakup of large particles either by converting them to silver oxide, or converting enough of them to silver oxide that when it dissolves, the rest of the particle falls apart, then converting the produced silver oxide to 2 atom silver particles.
