The specific differences between each potential style of geometry can be broken down into the following variations: | The specific differences between each potential style of geometry can be broken down into the following variations: | ||
*'''Intricate vs. simplistic''' - Geometry can either present itself as incomprehensibly intricate and complex in its appearance or simplistic, basic and comprehensible even at higher doses. For example, the geometry associated with [[dissociative]]s tends to be consistently overly simplistic in form while most psychedelics are significantly more intricate. | *'''Intricate vs. simplistic''' - Geometry can either present itself as incomprehensibly intricate and complex in its appearance or simplistic, basic and comprehensible even at higher doses.

*'''Algorithmic vs. abstract''' - Geometry can either appear to follow mathematical rules and logically consistent forms in its design (which often results in high amounts of fractals and semi-predictable shapes). In contrast to this, however, geometry can also be completely abstract or random in its appearance in a way that contains an infinite amount of completely unpredictable variety. | *'''Algorithmic vs. abstract''' - Geometry can either appear to follow mathematical rules and logically consistent forms in its design (which often results in high amounts of fractals and semi-predictable shapes).

*'''Large vs. small''' - Regarding its size, geometry can be extremely large and zoomed in or fine and zoomed out in a way that does not affect its level of intricacy. | *'''Large vs. small''' - Regarding its size, geometry can be extremely large and zoomed in or fine and zoomed out in a way that does not affect its level of intricacy. | ||
*'''Fast vs. slow''' - In terms of its speed, geometry can shift and morph so fast into itself that the amount of information presented to the tripper in extremely short periods of time becomes incomprehensible to process. In contrast to this, they can move slowly and comprehensibly, swirling and shifting into themselves to present ever-changing geometric forms that can be observed at a much higher level of detail. | *'''Fast vs. slow''' - In terms of its speed, geometry can shift and morph so fast into itself that the amount of information presented to the tripper in extremely short periods of time becomes incomprehensible to process.

*'''Smooth vs. jittery''' - In terms of its motion, geometry can move smoothly with a high frame rate, or it can be jittery in its motion with lag and a low frame rate. | *'''Smooth vs. jittery''' - In terms of its motion, geometry can move smoothly with a high frame rate, or it can be jittery in its motion with lag and a low frame rate. *<nowiki>'''</nowiki>[[Dextromethorphan]] is unique in that the geometry perceived under its influence can sometimes slow down, wobble, or freeze. | ||
*'''Round corners vs. angular corners''' - Geometry can either have mostly rounded and circular corners or mostly sharp corners with sharp and angular geometry. | *'''Round corners vs. angular corners''' - Geometry can either have mostly rounded and circular corners or mostly sharp corners with sharp and angular geometry. | ||
*'''Non-immersive vs. immersive''' - Geometry can be manifested in front of one's face in a manner which feels separate and as if it was being presented on some screen without a distinct sense of size or distance attributed to it. In contrast, geometry can feel as if one is completely immersed in and surrounded by it with a distinct sense of attributed size and distance. | *'''Non-immersive vs. immersive''' - Geometry can be manifested in front of one's face in a manner which feels separate and as if it was being presented on some screen without a distinct sense of size or distance attributed to it.

*'''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. | *'''Consistent vs. progressive''' - Geometry can be manifested as consistent and steady in its intensity, complexity and visibility regardless of disturbances within the external environment.

*'''[[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> | *'''[[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.
