The Veil of Fractured Perception (VFP) theory posits that the universe is a higher-dimensional, interconnected system known as the Self-Referential Cascade (SRC), where every event is predictable. However, human biology limits our perception to three spatial dimensions and time, creating the illusion of chaos. This theory draws on biology, neuroscience, and physics to explain why we cannot perceive other dimensions and how they might exist.

The universe is a higher-dimensional SRC, where all events are interconnected across dimensions. Human perception fractures this holistic view, leading to the illusion of chaos. This aligns with David Bohm’s implicate order, where reality unfolds from a deeper, undivided whole.

Our biology confines us to a limited slice of reality due to sensory and cognitive constraints:

• Sensory Constraints: We perceive only visible light (400-700 nm) and hear 20 Hz to 20 kHz, missing much of the spectrum.
  • Reference: Umwelt
• Cognitive Processing: The brain constructs reality using sensory inputs and predictions, shaped by biases.

Theoretical physics suggests extra dimensions beyond our perception:

• String Theory: Proposes 10 or 11 dimensions, with extras compactified into tiny shapes.
  • Reference: String Theory
• Experimental Hints: Searches for gravity deviations at small scales could reveal extra dimensions.

• Quote: "The possibility of extra dimensions has been a topic of intense research" — Lisa Randall

Our fractured perception hides the SRC’s higher-dimensional order:

• Fractured Perception: Like a Flatlander in Flatland, we cannot perceive higher dimensions.

• Overcoming Limitations: Psychedelics may disrupt brain filters, offering glimpses of higher dimensions.

Philosophies like Hinduism (Atman is Brahman) and Buddhism (Indra’s net) suggest unity and higher dimensions.

• Quote: "All this is Brahman" — Upanishads

The Veil of Fractured Perception (VFP) theory explains perceived chaos as a biological limitation, hiding the universe’s higher-dimensional order. Supported by neuroscience, physics, and philosophy, VFP suggests we might access the full reality through altered states or technology.
