Software development for the DMT headspace
- cube_flipper 2y agoI propose an experiment which demonstrates computation on the (DMT-altered) human visual system. It is a simple visual stimulus/web application which when viewed while on DMT should solve a graph cut problem, using colour as input and hallucinated depth perception as output (see blog post for full explanation): https://smoothbrains.net/experiments/tilespace/index.html?ratio=1.2&scale=80&stroke=0.5&saturation=0.5&glow=0&contrast=0.5&lighting=-1,1,1&overlay=0&colors=6,0,7,5,2,3,4,1&state=0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1,0 https://smoothbrains.net/experiments/tilespace/index.html?ra... I hope. I haven't tested it yet. Prior art includes Scott Aaronson's experiment in using soap bubbles for computation[1], and Mark Chiangizi's efforts to build logic gates from Necker cubes[2]: [1] https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/npcomplete.pdf https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/npcomplete.pdf [2] https://gwern.net/doc/cs/algorithm/2008-changizi.pdf https://gwern.net/doc/cs/algorithm/2008-changizi.pdf
- RomanPushkin 2y agoReally cool, I shared your work in a private discord server to the people who have no problem experimenting. It would be nice to have some sort of [landing] page for non-tech-savvy folks, so they understand it easier! I love everything about this blog post and the software application.
- cube_flipper 2y agoOh, that's amazing. Did anybody experience anything interesting? My account on discord is cube_flipper if it's easier to talk there
- spacebacon 2y agoHave you considered testing with molecular modeling and protein folding? If you can prove someone on a psychedelic is proficient at this task you may be able to pierce the subjective veil of this study.
