This article does not represent an individual subjective effect component but instead serves as a generalised leveling system which can be applied to the simultaneous experience of [[Dissociative#Disconnective_effects|disconnective effects]] such as [[cognitive disconnection|cognitive]], [[physical disconnection|physical]] and [[visual disconnection]]. These effects are most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#light|light]] to [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[dissociative]] compounds, such as [[ketamine]], [[PCP]], and [[DXM]].

This process of sensory and cognitive detachment be broken down into 5 basic levels of intensity~~. These are~~ described ~~and documented~~ below:

This process of sensory and cognitive detachment can be broken down into the 5 basic levels of intensity described below:

#'''~~subtle~~ detachment from environment''' - At the lowest level, the effects can be described as a subtle dulling of the senses and a vague sense of subjective detachment from the external environment.

#'''Subtle detachment from environment''' - At the lowest level, the effects can be described as a subtle dulling of the senses and a vague sense of subjective detachment from the external environment.

#'''Partial detachment from environment''' - At this level, the environment starts to feel physically further away in distance and increasingly disconnected from a person's sensory perception. [[Visual acuity suppression|Blurred]] and [[double vision]] sets in while [[tactile suppression|anaesthetic-like effects and tactile numbness]] begin to take place. At this point, [[motor control loss|motor control, coordination, and balance]] become suppressed in a manner that is proportional to dosage. In terms of sound, [[Auditory suppression|hearing]] also seems to become vague, muffled and distant.

In terms of sound, [[Auditory suppression|hearing]] also seems to become vague, muffled, and distant.

#'''Total detachment from environment''' - At this level, the sensory and cognitive disconnection have completely blocked out one's perception of the external environment. It is here where the person finds themselves undergoing an out-of-body experience as they enter a [[Visual_disconnection#Holes.2C_spaces_and_voids|dissociative hole]] which is often accompanied by [[internal hallucinations]].

#'''Detachment from self''' - At the highest level, the dissociation and detachment has become intense enough for a person's long-term memory to cease functioning. This leads into a state which is commonly referred to as "[[ego death]]" as the person loses their ability to recall and comprehend their own sense of identity.

#'''Detachment from awareness''' - The highest level of detachment occurs when a person loses all sensory awareness and normal cognitive functioning. This renders the person unconscious and consistently leaves extended gaps in a person's memory with large periods of [[Amnesia|amnesia]] which are generally impossible to recall once the experience is over. It's at this level that [[dissociative]]s such as [[ketamine]] are used in medical procedures for their ~~anaesthetic~~ effects.<ref>Top-down mechanisms of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness ~~(ncbi)~~ | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4066704/</ref></onlyinclude>
