The Maharishi Effect specifies that the square root of 1% of a population meditating together is sufficient to reduce violence, crime, and war intensity in that population. This paper demonstrates that this threshold is not an empirical curiosity — it is a direct expression of the I-dimension generator i from TI Sigma's PRIMARY CONSTANTS. When the 1% social disorder fraction is treated as a negative state (−1%) and the threshold operation √(·) is applied, the result is exactly i/10 — a quantum of pure imagination. The self-sealing proof: (i/10)² = −1/100 = −1%, meaning the square of the transcendence threshold regenerates the exact disorder it heals. Furthermore, the geometric interpretation is immediate: multiplication by i in the complex plane is a 90° rotation, and the Maharishi Effect is the empirically measured minimum injection of the I-dimension required to rotate a social system from the purely real E-axis (physical disorder) into complex GILE space. The connection is not metaphorical — it is structural. The 1% threshold is a prediction of TI Sigma's mathematics, not merely a fit to data.
