'''Holes, spaces and voids''' are more commonly known within the literature as a "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-hole k-hole]". It can be described as the place one finds themselves in once visual disconnection becomes all-encompassing enough to leave the person incapable of receiving external sensory input. This replaces their visual awareness with a consistent and defined space which feels as if it is outside of normal reality.  
'''Holes, spaces and voids''' is a sub component of visual disconnection which one experiences during all encompassing states of visual disconnection. This experience is more commonly known within the literature as the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-hole k-hole]". It can be described as the place one finds themselves in once visual disconnection becomes powerful enough to leave the person incapable of receiving external sensory input. This replaces their visual awareness with a consistent and defined space which feels as if it is outside of normal reality.  


The visual appearance of this space or "hole" can be described as a vast, empty and darkened void which feels and appears to be truly infinite in size. This space is usually obsidian black in its colour but occasionally displays itself with large patches of slow moving amorphous colour clouds which remain strewn out across its horizon.

Alongside of this visual experience, it is accompanied by [[changes in gravity]] and a powerful sense of [[tactile disconnection]] which result in feeling as if one is undergoing an out of body experience in which one weightlessly floats over great distances in a variety of different speeds, directions and orientations.

In terms of the materials that they appear to be comprised of and the complexity of detail in which they are perceived in, the structures can be broken into 4 basic levels. These are described and listed below:
In terms of the materials that they appear to be comprised of and the complexity of detail in which they are perceived in, the structures can be broken into 4 basic levels. These are described and listed below:


#'''2-Dimensional Structures''' - The most basic level of structural complexity confines its form to strictly 2-Dimensional shapes. These shapes are usually very flat and dark in their colour and often “felt” instead of seen. In terms of their size, these structures take up the entirety of a person's visual field but do not appear to have any particular size attributed to them.

#'''Partially defined 3-Dimensional Structures''' - At this level, the structures become better defined and 3-Dimensional in shape with basic detail in their lighting and shadow. They appear to be comprised of semi-transparent condensed colour or solidified shimmering [[geometry]] and are seen as ill-defined or out of focus around their edges. In terms of size, these structures appear to be extremely large, stretching out across hundreds and hundreds of meters.

#'''Fully defined 3-Dimensional Structures''' - Once hallucinatory structures reach their third level of complexity, they become fully defined in their shape, edges, lighting, shadow and detail. They often appear to be made of solid and dense realistic materials such as stone and metal. In terms of size, they are capable of appearing as thousands of miles across themselves and are extremely complex in form.
