Fringe Testing Lab #

Welcome to the edge of the map…

These experiments lie outside the established map. Results may be strange, inconclusive, or deeply meaningful. Proceed as a scientist, or a sorcerer — your choice.

⚠️ These techniques are experimental. Results may vary wildly.

This section gathers techniques that are:

  • Underexplored
  • Poorly documented
  • Difficult to verify
  • Or just deeply weird

Some are sourced from esoteric traditions, others from experimental neurotech, and a few were dredged from forgotten footnotes or internet liminal spaces.

I will be adding things here over time. At some point I’ll probably do a tidy-up.

If you try them, ✍️ please document what happens.

Some of the most interesting discoveries come from outliers.

I would love to collect more data on these techniques: #


  • Deprivation-Flood Cycles
    Explore altered states by alternating sensory silence and sensory overload.
  • Echo Binaural Delay
    Induce time distortion and audio hallucinations using simple sound delays.
  • OBEs 1 - Rope Method
    A practical guide to inducing out-of-body experiences (OBEs) using classic and experimental techniques, including the rope method and symbol-based projection.
  • OBEs 2 - Roll Method
    A simple out-of-body technique where you roll your awareness sideways out of your body to trigger an OBE or separation experience.
  • OBEs 3 - Vibration
    A method that uses the full-body vibrational state as a launchpad for an out-of-body experience.
  • Psychomanteum
    A modern take on an ancient technique for inducing visions, deep reflection, and altered states by gazing into a mirror in a darkened space.
  • Symbol-Based Projection
    An astral projection technique used by members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Involves projecting through a visualized symbol and exploring the inner landscape it reveals.
  • Symbolic Bleedover Training
    Conditioning the mind to imprint meaning onto chaos.
  • Tulpamancy
    Learn how to create a tulpa — a mentally constructed companion — through sustained attention and imagination. A practical guide to exploring inner autonomy and visualization through psychological experimentation.
