The Near-Death Terrain

From the public record

Proposed by: Chris Timmermann and colleagues

DMT phenomenology overlaps measurably with near-death experience reports. Glyphs and entities may belong to a general cartography of liminal states.

Timmermann and colleagues showed structured overlap between DMT experiences and near-death experience questionnaire profiles. This reading treats the symbol space not as a code but as terrain that consciousness enters near its boundaries, by molecule or by crisis. It predicts that NDE reports should occasionally contain registry-family forms, which is a searchable claim as the catalogue grows.
