If people don't see the world as it is, but as they are, is it possible to engineer a virtual environment or sort of visualization in which a perceptible limitation in context is designated as the design goal?
I wonder if it's possible for a person to embrace an alien environment/symbolism? Wikipedia states that "A symbol, in its basic sense, is a representational token for a concept or quantity." If a person can project a sort of meaning unto any symbol — or an environment composed of colours, shapes, and algorithms that culminate into an interactive symbol upon symbols (fractal?) — could certain forms of information architecture be derived from, say, algorithms found among esoteric or occult data?
I wonder if instead of building an experience in which the user can lose themself to their own interpretations and shared meanings, if a forced realisation of limitation upon interpretation could be enforced.
Looking at that, could an interface be built to allow for users to embrace a sort of "Dark Night of the Soul" or alchemical metamorphosis, a chaotic moment of paradigm shifting and fractures, allowing for new gestalts to be established and logged in the user?
