1

Physical Layer

The layer where experience feels grounded in the body, time moves normally, and events follow familiar physical rules.

2

Perceptual Layer

A layer where perception becomes slightly altered, details feel sharper or distorted, yet the sense of self remains intact.

3

Symbolic Layer

A layer dominated by symbols, metaphors, and imagery, where meaning matters more than literal sequence.

4

Informational Layer

A layer where experiences feel like receiving data rather than living events, often fragmented, compressed, or oddly precise.

5

Observational Layer

A layer where the experiencer feels present but detached, watching rather than participating, with reduced emotional involvement.

6

Transitional Layer

A boundary layer where scenes shift rapidly, identities blur, and movement between states becomes noticeable.
