7. Accounts <strong>of</strong> auras, electromagnetic noise, and o<strong>the</strong>r spectral artifacts takenfrom subjective reports <strong>of</strong> psychedelic halluc<strong>in</strong>ation. Casual tests to predict <strong>the</strong>accuracy and frequency range <strong>of</strong> spectral claims have been <strong>in</strong>conclusive.8. Michael F.

The low render<strong>in</strong>g capacity <strong>of</strong> human visual imag<strong>in</strong>ation is taken from asurvey <strong>of</strong> subjective reports. The quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternal visualization can only beenhanced by clos<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> eyes and fall<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to a state more like meditat<strong>in</strong>g ordaydream<strong>in</strong>g than attentive wakefulness.24.

A system can be considered holographic if each unit with<strong>in</strong> that systemconta<strong>in</strong>s a compressed representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire system. For example,organisms are holographic because <strong>the</strong>y conta<strong>in</strong> DNA with<strong>in</strong> each cell. Theuniverse is metaphorically holographic because <strong>the</strong> atom is isomorphic <strong>of</strong> asolar system or a galaxy, but this is not a true holographic construction becauseyou cannot reproduce an entire universe from <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>formation</strong> <strong>in</strong> a s<strong>in</strong>gle atom.In contrast, fractals are algorithms that repeat <strong>in</strong>structions to form recurr<strong>in</strong>gpatterns from microscopic to macroscopic scales.27.
