✨ Fakhri Effect: When high-frequency details are introduced to a visual scene, the entire scene's resolution increases.
🧘 Enlightenment experience can be explained by changes in the brain's electrostatic configuration, dissolving the self boundary.
Key insights
The brain's world simulation
The brain creates an immersive, real-time simulation of the world using an intricate web of neurons and EM fields.
This simulation is computationally expensive but evolutionarily advantageous for survival and complex tasks.
Brain as a Non-Linear Optical Computer (BAANLOC)
The BAANLOC theory posits that the brain leverages the EM field's properties for massive parallelism and self-organization.
Different perceptual phenomena, like psychedelic visuals and spatial audio, can be explained by wave interactions within the brain.
Evidence supporting BAANLOC
Psychedelic visuals demonstrate wave-like patterns, hinting at EM field involvement in perception.
Auditory localization is efficiently solved by the brain using wave computing, outperforming conventional digital methods.
Mechanics of the EM world simulation
Objects in our visual field are represented by patches of neurons with distinct electrostatic properties.
Neurons' dynamic electrostatic properties influence how EM waves interact, creating the perception of distinct objects.
Electrostatic model of the self
The self is perceived due to a denser electrostatic configuration in a patch of the neuronal substrate.
Equalizing these configurations resembles experiences of non-self or enlightenment, common in meditative and psychedelic states.
Future research and implications
The theory provides a cohesive explanation for various phenomena but requires further testing and validation.
Future research could reveal the brain's EM field structures and their role in consciousness, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the brain.
Key quotes
"Evolution has co-opted the EM field for its massive parallelism, holistic behavior, and self-organizing tendencies."
"Good speakers quite literally hack your brain into projecting fraudulent spatial information onto the entire world simulation."
"An enlightenment experience is a moment where this happens, and you realize you are the entire world simulation, not just the avatar within it."
"Our ideas are speculative, but testable. With the right resources, we can explore these phenomena and their implications for consciousness."
"Standard undergrad teaching emphasizes that myelin sheaths effectively shield neurons from EM field effects, but this remains a highly simplified model."
