Why do we see spiraling, organic, geometric patterns when we are having trip visuals?

Because fractales and geometric patterns are simple objects. A fractale is one patterns replicated n times in all direction. It can written in 2 lines code: pattern description * nb of times. On the opposite, a full landscape would require 100 lines of code to be describe to a computer.

On acid, your brain loose its ability to build constructs, everything is melting. You are loosing the full landscape because your brain is loosing its ability to construct it. Literally your brain is giving you all it can process, which is 2 lines of information, fractales.

Loosing constructs can also help you to see all the bad ones you jailed yourself in.

Well, I'm not schooled on the math of fractals enough to actually weigh in, but I know a landscape, from the human standard of perspective that isn't two-dimensional, would require WAY more than 100 lines of code. It would require enough code to cause effect similar to the the human sense functions like auditory and visual centers, along with any necessary systems in the brain that assist with mental recreating of that landscape.

Or did you mean a 2-d recreation?

I like fractals. They're fun. Basically anyone who says math sucks seems to have little so say once you show them a fractal at different images, especially if the negatives are colored. Yummy.

Im not sure what you mean here.  Humans can only see in 2-D really, even with depth perception.  Im not really sure of this context though,



I always thought of psychedelics somehow interfering with our ability to 'smooth over' objects.  While not on them, things like white walls, or brick walls go unnoticed - the brain is able to toss all that detail because its not needed.  When frying you dont do that, and the brain is less able to filter our 'superfluous' information.  So when I see those shapes, they are artifacts of my brains inability to selectively choose detail and information.  Information overload in a way.  Thats just my experience and crazy thoughts.
