Description

In this episode, we discuss the idea of developing a "psychedelic language" based on QRI paradigms and recent experience reports. We suggest that a fruitful strategy for pointing at a whole family of psychedelic effects comes in the form of "field operators" that change the qualitative properties of our experiential fields. We provide a detailed description of what we call the "world-sheet" of experience and how it encodes emotional and semantic content in its very structure.
