Drifting: Difference between revisions

This effect is capable of manifesting itself across the 4 different levels of intensity described below:

#'''Peripheral''' - ~~The most basic form of~~ visual drifting can be described as a wiggling of straight lines within the external environment. This occurs exclusively within a person's peripheral vision and cannot be directly looked at.

#'''Peripheral''' - At the lowest level, visual drifting can be described as a wiggling of straight lines within the external environment. This occurs exclusively within a person's peripheral vision and cannot be directly looked at.

#'''Direct''' - At this level, visual drifting does not necessarily increase in intensity, but can now be directly looked at within a person's central line of sight. This partially alters the appearance and form of shapes, objects, and sceneries within the external environment, causing them to subtly drift, bend, and morph.

#'''Distinct''' - At this level, visual drifting becomes powerful enough to drastically alter and transform the shape of specific objects within a person's external environment. This is often to the point where they can become progressively unrecognisable in comparison to their original form, assuming one stares at the distortion and keeps their eyes relatively motionless.

#'''All-encompassing''' - At the highest level of visual drifting, the intensity becomes powerful enough to distort not just specific objects, but every single point of a person's vision and the entirety of the external environment. This creates the appearance of an extremely smudged, warped, and blended unrecognisable mass of visual data.

Drifting is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[symmetrical texture repetition]] and [[tracers]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[~~2C-B]], [[psilocin~~]], and [[mescaline]]. However, it can also occur ~~less commonly~~ under the influence of certain [[stimulants]] and [[dissociatives]] such as [[MDMA]] or [[3-MeO-PCP]].

The particular style of this visual effect depends on the specific continuously changing direction, speed, and rhythm of the distortion. This results in a small variety of different manifestations which are defined and listed below.
