Account of psychological phenomena. (A) Projective solution to VR-mediated dissociations in phenomenal selfhood. The visual field is indicated (dashed-green line) as a subset of lived space. Left: Projection from the normal perception spectrum: S1 = T P ∘ R, the projective frame is calibrated in first-person perception-mode. Right: Third-person projection from the pure imagination subgroup: S2 = T I ∘ R. Perceptual experiences of dissociation between the subjective point of view and the sense of location of the body induced by VR experiments using sensory conflict are explained by the PCM as the result of a projective solution that is not normally used for perception but is chosen as the best explanation of sensory data. (B) The anti-space beyond the plane at infinity. Rendering of the projective space with a transparent plane at infinity and no clipping, revealing the involution of the space mirroring the back of the ambient space intrinsic to projective spaces. (C) The “God’s eye” vantage point on the projective space. Rendering on a 2-dimensional image-plane of the projective space and its mapping of the world model R from the “God’s eye” point of view at infinity. Almost all the space is visible but completely warped and the world model manifests as structures with complex symmetries (from Rudrauf et al., 2017, used by permission from Elsevier).
