Feedback in an anlog signalling system producing delays, reflections, geometric and clipped artifacts is something anyone who has used a guitar effects pedal is familiar with. I have a surprising number of old comments on this site about how hallucinogens just impair signalling and the results are geometric for the same reasons. This article says it impairs the equivalent to the CLK signal, which sounds just about right.

Don't be disappointed about it not being another spiritual dimension, they discovered we literally have effects pedals for our brains. This is the coolest thing ever. We could probably classify hallucinogenic artifacts by chorus, delay, flange, harmonics...




Paychonautwiki has been classifying effects in a somewhat similar fashion for years/decades now: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Geometry


The problem is getting so out of it that you can't reach the wet/dry knob to dial back the wacko.
