| | | | | [AI summary] The text describes three computational simulations designed to model cessation experiences, which are states of reduced phenomenological content. These simulations are based on the concepts of recursive mappings between sensory fields, coupled oscillators, and gestalt detection. The first simulation, the Gestalt Detector, explores how different perspectives interact with our ability to detect patterns in the environment. The second, Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, investigates how waves in different fields can be synchronized by using either 3D or 2D distance functions. The third, Fractal Recursive Coherence, models how recursive projections can lead to a state of zero phenomenality by collapsing all projections into a single point... | |

| | | | | Excerpt from The Grand Illusion: A Psychonautical Odyssey Into the Depths of Human Experience by the cognitive scientistSteven Lehar(2010; pages 23-40). Trip to Europe I had two or three such experiences on my new batch of LSD, taking perhaps 2 or 3 "hits" (tabs) each time (presumed to be about [100] micrograms, or "mikes" per... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] This text is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the intersection between consciousness, neuroscience, and philosophy, with a particular focus on the work of Steven Lehar and the Qualia Research Institute (QRI). The article introduces Lehar as a significant figure in the field of consciousness studies, emphasizing his harmonic resonance theory of neurocomputation and its implications for understanding the nature of perception, aesthetics, and the mind-body problem. The piece also highlights the importance of developmental milestones in cognitive understanding, referencing Scott Alexander's work on the 'map is not the territory' concept, and explores the role of psychedelic experiences and neuroimaging in understanding consciousness.
