Fractals/perfect geometry

Just another Random Lainon · 2020-09-29 22:28
One of the big things I still think about from when I did acid was the geometry. The normal popcorn pattern on the wall was replaced with a perfect diamond pattern on every part of it. You could write it out in a math equation or some sort. And why? Is the code that's the basis of our brain/eyesight mathematical? Is it God? There are certainly cases of it in nature, like snowflakes, leaves, etc. More loosely, the population of each city in a country tends to follow Zipf's law. What are your thoughts of why we see these kinds of patterns while under the influence of LSD?

>What are your thoughts of why we see these kinds of patterns while under the influence of LSD? our brain is well adapted for seeing these kinds of patterns because they show up so often in natural phenomena. On LSD, certain parts of the brain(particularly the visual cortex) are sort of kicked in to overdrive and recognize patterns that are not there.
