Did you read the brainsturbator article in my first reply?
Also check out this new scientist article that suggests that the universe is in fact one big fractal. It looks like the big bang theory is soon to be obsolete.

polyopia was first noticed before 1920 in this book
which predates the evidence that memory is stored holographically in multiple places at the same time. both facts support eachother.
it may require that an individual is stoned to integrate the multiple fading elements of memory fixation into an ongoing psychedelic ezperience, but these events are natural.
on psychedelic signals just fade more slowly. the fabrio of memory leaves a wider footprint as it follows it's stream

In the detail you are currently seeing the fractal to be.

this can be true, but it does not explain what is happenning when you are stoned and you seem to be seeing this aspect of things. i.e. why not see it when not stoned. patterning in visions and progressions in composite images are consistent with the machinery of memory (holographc and distributed storage), timing (mathematical - predictive) and thought (associative recall by simmilarity).
I think everyone should get more into fractals and logrythmic functions to see how they are part of nature, rather than discounting it as just a thing that exists.

Entoptic Phenomenon
"There has been a great deal of work trying to find evidence of motifs and compositions derived from entoptic phenomena in prehistoric art, especially rock art and megalithic art. The justification of this research is that entoptic phenomena normally occur during states of altered consciousness, the practice of which may impact our views of ancient religious and social practice." from Entoptic Phenomena in archaeology

Hey look everybody I actually answered the question! weeee! entoptic phenomenon actually explains the geometric patterns that everyone sees when they trip or have a fever or meditate for long enough or whatever.... you're literally seeing the inside of your eye and interpreting it in different strange ways.

Yeah, those visuals are intense! Probably my first 'psychedelic' visions...:D
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

When I press on my eyes, I see snow like on a TV channel that is off the air.... I don't see motifs, I see random speckles of white/black gradients....
Don't think it is the same thing.... Unless other people see shapes when they press their eyes - which is entirely possible I guess....
