The Workshop / Factory / Market

✦What happens there

Beings fabricate impossible objects (self-assembling Fabergé-like things), show or hand them over, and appear to be running some vast process — factory and marketplace of forms.

✦Description

Industrial, fabricative realms experienced as the 'innards of a machine' — conveyor belts, assembly lines, workshops where objects, language, or 'memes' are manufactured and traded. McKenna nicknamed the elves 'meme traders.'

✦Further notes from the corpus

Quantified grounding: in the naturalistic field study, artificial worlds accounted for 6 participants (17%) — mechanized environments with sci-fi aesthetics, including 'conveyer belts within conveyer belts' and 'the innards of a machine' flowing with psychedelic energy; in the r/DMT corpus, machinery, clockwork, gears, or wheels appear in 78 experiences (2.1%). A Nexus locations report adds 'The Machine': floating above a gear-like core of 'impossible geometry and mechanical movement of massive interconnected rings' appearing as white light with intricate patterns. Beings in these settings often appear operating, maintaining, or integrated with the machinery itself.

✦What the sources say

'Mechanical conveyor belts of psychedelic energy' within the 'innards of a machine'; technological objects in ~22%.

The entities as 'meme traders' and 'art collectors' crafting intricate, self-assembling objects.

Artificial worlds (17%): 'conveyer belts within conveyer belts'; 'the innards of a machine.'

Machinery/clockwork/gears/wheels in 78 experiences (2.1%).
