Mandalas & symmetry fields

✦Description

Radially symmetric, concentric closed-eye geometric forms — the chrysanthemum is the canonical instance, but mandalic patterning recurs throughout the early phases with intense color and complex overlay.

✦Further notes from the corpus

Augment: QRI reports that DMT visuals can instantiate any of the seventeen wallpaper symmetry groups, and that QRI 'was able to confirm that all 17 wallpaper groups are indeed possible in DMT states' — grounding the mandala/symmetry field in Gómez Emilsson's 'algorithmic reduction' framework of symmetry-governed psychedelic visuals.

✦What the sources say

Mandalic, symmetry-rich closed-eye visuals at the chrysanthemum level; connected to all 17 wallpaper symmetry groups.

Mandalas included within the ~32.6% reporting fractals/geometry/patterns.

DMT visuals 'instantiate any of the 17 wallpaper symmetry groups' via a lowered symmetry-detection threshold; all 17 groups confirmed possible in DMT states.

Symmetry (radial, bilateral, tessellating) documented as a core stylistic variation dimension of psychedelic geometry.
