| Hello IIAOPSW! I think you are thinking about it in exactly the right way! Have you not, perhaps, been consuming content from the Qualia Research Institute? :-) Seriously - at QRI we think quite similarly. Please reach out if you'd like to have a chat. See my comment on the main thread for some useful links. I'll add as well that indeed repetition is the building block of cognition, and this is due to harmonic resonance! In particular, we have taken steps to actually quantify empirically the properties of various visual tracer effects on psychedelics as a proof of concept for how to quantify harmonic resonance in the brain. See: "Modeling Psychedelic Tracers with QRI’s Psychophysics Toolkit: The Tracer Replication Tool" - https://qualiacomputing.com/2020/10/09/modeling-psychedelic-... And also, you may find quite insightful to read: "On Dark Rooms, Jhanas, Ecstasy, and the Symmetry Theory of Valence" - https://qualiacomputing.com/2021/10/31/on-dark-rooms-jhanas-... This latest link is my response to Scott Alexander writing about our theories. Infinite bliss! :-) |
