The Fractal Internet of the Mind

What Carries a Pattern Forward?

377 + 610 = 987. Fibonacci growth carries forward the previous two terms. A fractal has structure that recurs across scales. Together they suggest a question for Phase 9. What happens when a question, a source and a correction become the starting point for someone else’s inquiry?

What the Studies Measured

Controlled Human Comparison

In a double-blind crossover study of 32 adults, mescaline, LSD and psilocybin produced broadly comparable subjective ratings at similar intensity. Their durations differed. The scales leave finer differences in visual geometry open. Ley and Colleagues

Human Brain Activity

Placebo-controlled EEG–fMRI found changes in functional connectivity and signal diversity during N,N-DMT. Separate LSD research measured how the complexity of brain signals changed over time. Neither measurement identifies the geometry of an individual’s visions. DMT Study · LSD Study

Gene Regulation in Mice

A psilocybin study measured changes in gene expression and increased acetylation of a histone mark in mouse brain tissue. It did not measure DNA sequence changes, genome-wide folding or human imagery. Kang and Colleagues

An Open Question About Attention

Goldstein’s cinema analogy asks what happens when people focus on the same thing. A first test would compare shared and dispersed focus, record descriptions before showing any examples and score visual patterns blind to condition. His proposed link to mediumship would need its own test. QMM’s published hardware experiments concern engineered qubits. Applying that framework to attention would require a specified physical carrier and readout. Goldstein’s Conference Abstract · QMM Circuit Study
