'''Geometry''' can be described as the experience of a person's field of vision becoming partially or completely encompassed by fast-moving, colorful, and indescribably complex geometric patterns, [[form constants]], [[phosphene]]s, shapes, [[fractal]]s, and colors. These geometric forms can also become structured and organized in a manner that presents genuine information to the person experiencing it far beyond the perception of meaningless, although complex, shapes and colors. The geometric representations may feel as though they depict specific concepts and neurological processes that exist within the brain in a manner that is extremely detailed.

The geometric representations may feel as though they depict specific concepts and neurological processes that exist within the brain in a manner that is extremely detailed.

Geometry is rarely motionless, generally extremely fast-moving, and self-changing in regards to its shape and style. During this process the geometry naturally drifts laterally or radially across the visual field to create overlapping webs of geometric patterns which transition through many distinct states, all of which are visible within a single perceptual frame.

During this process, the geometry naturally drifts laterally or radially across the visual field to create overlapping webs of geometric patterns which transition through many distinct states, all of which are visible within a single perceptual frame.

This experience is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[internal hallucinations]], [[environmental patterning]], and [[drifting]]. 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, they can also occur ~~less commonly~~ under the influence of [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]], [[stimulant|stimulants]], and [[dissociative|dissociatives]] such as [[cannabis]], [[MDMA]], and [[DXM]].

This effect is capable of manifesting itself across known nine different levels of intensity, these tend to depend on the dosage, but can also fluctuate wildly in their intensity due to external triggers such as a person's [[set and setting]]. The individual levels are defined below:

Line 33:

At the highest level, depending on subtle environmental factors, a person's state of mind, and the substance consumed geometry is capable of forking off into two separate versions of equal intensity known as level 8A and 8B.

Once visual geometry reaches level 8A or 8B it begins to become structured and organised in a way that presents genuine information to the person ~~experience~~ it far beyond the preceding seven levels of relatively ~~meaningles~~, although complex, shapes and colours. This happens through the perception of innately understood geometric representations that feel as if they depict specific concepts and neurological processes that exist within the brain. Although this is also possible at lower levels it does not occur consistently ~~in the same way that~~ it does at level 8A and 8B. At this point, concepts can be seen as not just embedded within a person's closed or open eye visual field, but can also be simultaneously felt through indescribably complex physical and cognitive sensations.

Once visual geometry reaches level 8A or 8B it begins to become structured and organised in a way that presents genuine information to the person experiencing it far beyond the preceding seven levels of relatively meaningless, although complex, shapes and colours. This happens through the perception of innately understood geometric representations that feel as if they depict specific concepts and neurological processes that exist within the brain. Although this is also possible to a much lesser extent at lower levels, it does not occur as consistently or intensely as it does at level 8A and 8B. At this point, concepts can be seen as not just embedded within a person's closed or open eye visual field, but can also be simultaneously felt through indescribably complex physical and cognitive sensations.

It is worth noting that there are particular attributes of psychedelic substances which tend to result in a higher likelihood of level 8A over 8B and vice versa. Psychedelics which are [[stimulation|stimulating]] in [[physical effects]] and contain low amounts of [[hallucinatory states|hallucinatory content]] typically result in level 8A. For example, hallucinogens which tend towards causing level 8A include [[LSD]], [[2C-B]], and [[4-HO-MET]]. In contrast, psychedelics which lead to level 8B are typically [[sedation|sedating]] in physical effects and contain high amounts of hallucinatory content. For example, hallucinogens which tend towards causing level 8B include [[psilocybin]], [[LSA]], [[DMT]], [[2C-C]].

Line 77:

*'''Consistent vs. progressive''' - Geometry can be manifested as consistent and steady in its intensity, complexity and visibility regardless of disturbances within the external environment. In contrast, however, it can manifest as progressive in its intensity which means that disturbances and sensory input such as bright lights, loud noises and distractions within the external environment will prevent or cut off the intensity, complexity and visibility from building up to its limit whilst darkness will cause it to steadily rise in complexity.

*'''[[8A Geometry|Level 8A]] vs. [[8B Geometry|level 8B]]''' - At its eighth and highest level of experience, geometry is capable of branching off into two different directions of equal intensity. The first of these is [[8A Geometry|Level 8A – exposure to semantic concept network]] and the second of these is [[8B Geometry|Level 8B – exposure to the internal mechanics of consciousness]].</onlyinclude>
