✦Description
Time reported as spatialized, structured, or dissolved: moments experienced as objects one can inspect from outside, the felt sense of time compressing toward a standstill, loops in which the same instant recurs, and a laid-out 'timeline' one can move along or watch rewind. Some describe reaching a granular floor of time (an ultimate smallest tick) at which time appears to stop; others describe stepping outside the ordinary flow entirely, or sensing an approaching future 'attractor.' The eternity-in-an-instant quality — a lifetime or endless duration inside a few objective minutes — is among the most consistent temporal reports.
✦What the sources say
'Planck Time' — 'time compressing into smaller and smaller units' until it appears to stop; 'Mirror' — travelling forward then 'quickly rewinds back through the entire trip'; 'Loop, Stuck in a'; 'Eschatothesia' — 'sensing of a future attractor.'
Delta/theta oscillatory emergence correlated with the peak, eyes-closed visual component of the DMT experience — the window in which time-distortion is most extreme.
Reports of atemporality and the dilation/spatialization of time as a recurrent structural feature of the visionary state.

What is Time Geometry — Moments as Objects & Loops?

Is there research on Time Geometry — Moments as Objects & Loops?
The subjective-time compression correlates in Timmermann et al. (2019) with the emergence of low-frequency delta/theta EEG activity at the eyes-closed peak of the experience — the same window associated with peak visual immersion. Reported as phenomenology; no claim about physical time.
