"It is generally believed that 'accurate observation' is the cornerstone of any intelligent creature's process of cognition, survival, growth, adaptation to changes and corresponding development.
Most living things have the need for accurate observation.
If that’s hard to understand, imagine the following behaviors that individuals must perform in order to survive:
Place your feet or paws on a surface with suitable friction; dodge the "scalp hunters" who are charging towards you; pick out the ones contaminated by golden cactus fungus in the pile; confirm that you and your victim distance between them to develop strategies for turning it into food or clothing.
The conclusion is that it is obvious that accurate observation is very necessary in daily life.
It is not difficult to conclude from another angle
'Observation misalignment', as the opposite of accurate observation, needs to be avoided as much as possible.
In observational dislocation, a single target, from the inside out, is a category initiated by the living subject. Popular parlance in the nine planes calls it "illusion".
For a long time, many related studies have been conducted on "hallucination", an important concept closely related to all kinds of life, and many theories have been proposed.
The first thing I want to introduce is an important experiment about it-the "crater illusion experiment". This experiment laid the academic foundation for the classification of late-epoch hallucinations.
crater hallucination experiment
In the year of the Isolated Island Century, the largest internal drive research organization at the time, the "Lever-Holding Psychological Research Society" still located in Yuhengzhe Garden, spent a lot of money to contract one million accelerator pods in the Vientiane Forest. Under the pressure of sensitive minds (850 Pascals, 17,000 Pascals, and 500,000 Pascals), five different hallucination stimulation treatments were performed on all creatures in these one million acceleration pods, and then underwent " Gezer Subjective Consciousness Assessment", "SXL-Idealistic Coordinate Self-Measurement Table" and a series of tests. After another eight years of continuous disability calculations, the basic classification of hallucinations was finally arrived at.
The number of people involved in this experiment, the precision of the conditions, the comprehensiveness of the theories used, the number of types of energy consumed, rare dreams, disposable structures, naps, life cans, space-time particles, and overloaded coffee pots are all... It was unheard of in the previous hundred thousand years, and it is still rare in later generations.
It is known as "that expensive and powerful experiment" in history.
The best academic era has passed, and the Society for Psychological Research went bankrupt in the 2000s. But it is undeniable that this experiment left a valuable theoretical framework for future observational misalignment studies.
I hope you scholars will still remember it.
Conclusion of the crater hallucination experiment——
Basic classification of hallucinations
Dislocation of psychological coordinates
The easiest type of hallucination to observe and identify. At the same time, it is also the hallucination that is easiest to solidify and has the most difficult sequelae to eradicate.
Causes little harm.
Typical features are fixed misperception direction, fixed misperception distance, and fixed misperception vector.
The psychological coordinates of the subject of the hallucination are misaligned with the coordinates of reality, thus triggering the illusion of distance.
It should be pointed out that
This illusion of distance is not just physical distance, but also psychological distance. The individual feels as if he is underground in a lively gathering place, and feels like he is hanging in the cold deep space in a safe and warm nest. These are all typical symptoms of this kind of psychological coordinate misalignment hallucination.
cognitive transformation confusion
The difficulty of identifying such hallucinations varies with the complexity of the transformation. The degree of curing is medium to high. The harm depends on both ends of the cognitive transformation.
The typical feature is that the transformation between psychological concepts and real events follows certain rules.
The individual's cognitive processing is distorted, causing hallucinations.
To cure this kind of hallucination, it is necessary to restore the cognitive distortion itself, but it is difficult to do so. Like the misalignment of subjective psychological coordinates, this kind of hallucination is caused by transformation according to a certain law. If it is really untreatable, this transformation can be restored and inferred, or the same effect can be achieved by correcting it through external transformation.
For example, if a sick individual consistently identifies pigs as monkeys, and vice versa. Then all it takes is an external visual correction device or drug to swap the images of pigs and monkeys in the individual's field of vision.
Point concept paranoia
Identification difficulty is low. But it takes a certain amount of time and number of screenings to discover specific paranoid concepts. It is not easy to solidify, and the harm depends on the degree of paranoia and the concept itself.
The typical characteristic is that it is normal at ordinary times, but when it comes to fixed things, the individual's cognitive and psychological reactions will be very different from the normal baseline.
Hallucinated subjects have paranoid cognitions about specific concepts. The distorted and erroneous results derived from paranoid cognition may not have any regular connection with the concept itself, but are often the idealistic results of the highly individualized experience of the hallucinating subject.
Devices and medication correction often fail in the treatment of this kind of hallucination. To cure this kind of hallucination, it is necessary to go deep into the patient's specific thoughts and clarify the subjective nature. Sometimes the treatment is extremely simple, and sometimes it's the opposite.
Wrong direction and keen company
The most difficult type of hallucination to identify. The causes, symptoms of hallucinations, effects, and degree of solidification are the most complex and difficult to distinguish.
Typical characteristics are instability, hallucinations that are changeable, unpredictable, and without regularity.
This kind of illusion comes from the fluidization of the subject's mental schema structure, which connects wrong concepts together in unexpected changes, thus producing hallucinations.
Direct correction of such hallucinations is difficult because this type of hallucination is often one of the consequences of a malfunction in the overall mental structure.
Reducing sensitivity is the most direct method of treatment, but it may directly correct the patient into a fool, plant, zombie, or cosmic garbage in one step. A more conservative and safe approach is to build the surrounding environment with attributes such as perception, will, inner toughness, and mental reflexes.
stress disaster
It can be called 'the hallucination of the healthy'. Difficult to cure and generally short-lived. However, because it occurs in healthy but inexperienced individuals, it is often accompanied by other complications due to stress chain collapse, resulting in very serious consequences.
The typical characteristics are big ups and downs, short and intense.
The most common is that a large number of sharp external inputs (destruction of home, loss of meaning, etc.) trigger a series of collapses of psychological attribute elements.
Simple and rough recovery of attribute elements is feasible when the symptoms are not severe, but since it is called a 'disaster', the destruction of the overall cognitive environment and the corresponding maintenance are naturally indispensable.
…
Illusions, confusing dreams, seductive potions, hallucinogenic spaces... all means of generating hallucinations are designed to stimulate one or more of the observational misalignments. Therefore, if we want to find corresponding countermeasures, the first step is to dismantle the classification of hallucinations.
This is the precious wealth left by the Crater Illusion Laboratory for the common need of intelligent creatures for 'accurate observation'..."
