✦Description
The felt boundary of the body loosening and dissolving — flesh 'unzipping' or breaking into waves, particles, light and vibration — until the self is no longer inside a body but distributed across, or fused into, the surrounding pattern. Travelers describe becoming the geometry, the tunnel, or the light; sensing the body 'rewired' so that touch and sight merge; or being left as a point of pure awareness with no located form. Sits between the somatic rush and breakthrough, and shades into ego-dissolution when the sense of a separate self goes with the body.
✦What the sources say
'Body Deconstruction' — 'body seems to be dissolved and deconstructed into waves, particles, vibration, light,' potentially leaving only consciousness perceiving hyperspace; 'Kinesioöptic' — bodily sensation 'rewired to the visual cortex.'
Marked alpha/beta suppression and increased signal diversity at the immersive peak, correlating with self-reported immersiveness and loss of ordinary embodied perspective.
Disembodiment / separation of consciousness from the body reported as a core onset feature of the breakthrough.

Is there research on Body Dissolution & Merging with the Geometry?
Corresponds to reports of disembodiment/dissolution that Timmermann et al. (2019) place at the immersive peak; the loss of bodily boundary is one facet of the ego-dissolution the DMT literature associates with alpha-power suppression and increased signal diversity.
