~~This~~ '''~~subjective effects index~~''' ~~exists~~ to serve as a comprehensive ~~map~~ of ~~the potential experiences which can~~ occur ~~under~~ the ~~influence~~ of ~~any and all~~ [[Psychoactive substance index|psychoactive ~~compounds~~]].

The '''Subjective ''Effect Index''''' ('''SEI''') is a collection of wiki articles designed to serve as a comprehensive reference work for the diverse range of subjective effects that may occur during an altered or non-ordinary state of consciousness. While primarily written to describe the effects of [[Psychoactive substance index|psychoactive substances]], particularly [[hallucinogens]], it may also be extended to other areas of [[psychonautics]] such as [[meditation]], [[sensory deprivation]], and [[lucid dreaming]].

~~The subjective effects identified here~~ are ~~accompanied by~~ a ~~detailed literary~~ description of ~~how it feels to experience them~~. ~~These are written in an objective and consistent~~ writing style ~~which is based upon phenomenological observation and avoids the use of metaphor~~ or ~~analogy. The descriptions also strive~~ to use language which is as simple and understandable as possible. This has been done in the hope of them eventually serving as a universal terminology set which allows people to discuss and describe their subjective experiences.

''SEI'' entries are composed of four parts: 1) a systematic effect name 2) a phenomenological description and analysis of the effect 3) any other relevant information and 4) external references. ''SEI'' articles implement a formalized writing style that seeks to avoid reliance on flowery metaphors or analogies, preferring instead to use ordinary language.

~~The effects are separated into distinct components which are then organized into categories based on~~ the ~~sense they affect and their behavior. Many of~~ these ~~are further broken down into leveling systems, subcomponents~~ and ~~variations in style which can occur across different substances. Detailed replications~~ are ~~included~~ to ~~supplement the text descriptions whenever possible in the form of image and video examples~~.

This editorial decision has been adopted in the hope that these definitions will eventually come to serve as a universal terminology set that enables individuals to better analyze and share meaningful experiences that are ineffable or otherwise extremely difficult to communicate.

The ~~content within~~ this index ~~is based on~~ the collective experiences of ~~our~~ [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]].

The ''SEI'' currently contains over 200 entries that are organized into categories based on which sense they affect and their overall behavior. Many of these effects are further broken down into leveling systems, sub-components, and style variations that are reported to occur across different substances, doses, and situations. Detailed [[Replication index|replications]], in the form of image and video examples, have been included wherever possible to supplement the text descriptions.

The contents of this index are principally derived from the collective experiences and analyses of [[Special:TopUsers|our contributors]], various anecdotal reports collected from the internet, and (whenever possible) the published scientific literature. A curated archive of some of these reports can be found in our [[experience index]].
