[00:00:00]The human mind is a desperate [music] predatory pattern recognition machine.

[00:00:06]It requires friction, spatial contrast, and visual chaos to anchor itself in physical reality.

[00:00:15]When entirely deprived of that friction, the visual cortex panics. It aggressively amplifies its own neural static. Within minutes, Metzger's test subjects began to scream. They hallucinated vividly, perceiving monstrous, grotesque shapes crawling toward them through the endless red [music] fog. They heard whispered, menacing voices bleeding through the static. The brain, starved of authentic environmental data, manufactured a waking [music] nightmare simply to give its threat detection network an enemy to fight.
