✦Description
Faces — and, more broadly, eyes, figures and creatures — that resolve out of the geometric field itself, so that the pattern is 'looking back.' The ornamented surfaces (arabesques, filigree, lattices) spontaneously organize into countless faces, masks, and watching entities, which morph and multiply the longer they are attended. Reported both as benign 'faces in the wallpaper' at lower intensity and as fully present entities-within-the-pattern at breakthrough, blurring the line between decoration and being. This is the hinge between pure geometry and entity contact: the ornament becomes populated.
✦What the sources say
Static Pattern Overlay: uniform surfaces display patterns 'resembling arabesques, hieroglyphs, or faces — extremely convincing and nearly indistinguishable from consensus reality.'
Sentient-being encounters in 94% (34/36) of accounts, entities frequently emerging from and made of the surrounding geometric/mechanical texture.
Documents complex geometry populated with recognizable figurative elements including faces as the field's complexity increases.

Is there research on Embedded Faces & the Pareidolia Cascade?
An intensified form of ordinary facial pareidolia (the visual system's low threshold for detecting face-like configurations), here applied to self-generated geometric texture; Effect Index classes it under the pattern-overlay that renders surfaces 'covered in... faces.'
