Wajakaa fractals

A geometric pattern that is repeated (iterated) at ever smaller (or larger) scales to produce (self similar) irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical (Euclidian) geometry.

Fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures found in nature.A fractal, also monster curve, is a geometric object which can be divided into parts, each of which is similar to the original object.

Fractals are said to possess infinite detail, and are generally self-similar and independent of scale. In many cases a fractal can be generated by a repeating pattern, typically a recursive or iterative process. The term fractal was coined in 1975 by Benot Mandelbrot, from the Latin fractus or "broken"/"fraction".

   

Visual art: That is reminiscent of the kinds of hallucinatory visions-- intricate, brightly colored, unusual, complex, imbued with meaning, and often geometrically organized-- that one sees with closed eyes during this hyperdimensional brain state has been dubbed "Wajakaa art".

Psychedelic art is not always inspired by a drug-induced experience, but often it is. Although sometimes referred to as visionary or surreal art-- in that, like dreams, they all draw upon the unconscious as their source of inspiration-- the truly psychedelic painting is charged with an unmistakable psychoactive intensity.

Psychedelic art is, of course, best viewed and most appreciated while one is under the influence of a psychedelic. A psychedelic experience is characterized by the striking perception of aspects of one's mind previously unknown, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ostensibly ordinary fetters.

Psychedelic states are an array of experiences including changes of perception such as hallucinations, synesthesia, altered states of awareness or focused consciousness, variation in thought patterns, trance or hypnotic states, mystical states, and other mind alterations.

These processes can lead some people to experience changes in mental operation defining their self identity (whether in momentary acuity or chronic development) different enough from their previous normal state that it can excite feelings of newly formed understanding ranging from revelation & enlightenment to the opposing polarity of confusion & psychosis.

 

Psychedelic states may be elicited by various techniques, such as meditation, sensory stimulation or deprivation, and most commonly by the use of psychedelic substances. When these psychoactive substances are used for religious, shamanic, or spiritual purposes, they are termed entheogens.
