Landscapes

Terrestrial landscapes are capable of promoting irregular and inexplicable cognitive

experiences and outcomes. The act of merely viewing a particular landscape can ignite irregular
and unknown cerebral attacks and images. Landscapes in isolation have this effect in particular.
From personal observations and experiences, environments or landscapes in complete isolation
from reality or on a more tangible level from other regions stimulate this effect the most.
Landscapes lead viewers or inhabitants to the more obscure and nonuniform or variable aspects
and visions of reality. Landscapes disconnect the viewer and/or inhabitant from the present
realms of reality or from any time-specific frame of time into a single column of an altered and
irregular existence. This method is not merely the well-documented (and somewhat clichd)
method of teleporting from one location to another but a completely divergent experience that is
difficult to fully explain, research, or document by modern society. This paper merely brings
attention to the phenomenon in the best terms that the infrastructure of the phenomenon allows it.
This paper does not form or attempt to form the authority on this subject. The following ideas
expressed in this brief document are speculative. This process is highly reflective which may
explain its inexplicable or abnormal effects and structure.
The visual contact with a physical landscape removed from reality and/or in most
instances from more populated regions creates a mental reaction that is devoid of any past
measureable or similar reactions to assign its value. The lack of a value or immediate meaning
assigned to the visual and mental assault causes the disparity between visual reception and
correspondent mental alignment. Mental alignment for the duration of the exposure to the
landscape is altered, causing the individual(s) to experience cognitive reconfiguration that leads
to the mental assaults. The mental assaults are reconfigurations that aim to realign the
individual(s) with the standard setup of reality. These same reconfigurations can be said to
provide the basis for the widely known phenomena in which individuals feel as though they are
completing actions that have been previously completed (termed dj vu). Although this paper
focuses on the mental effects of physically obscure landscapes, this phenomenon is important to
note because it may explain the relation(s) between physically landscapes and altered mental
experiences. The cognitive reconfiguration that occurs in both anomalies may point to a larger
cerebral process that encapsulates both occurrences along with other more complex occurrences.
Physical landscapes that are more obscure in structure and isolated from society produce
the most mental anomalies and reconfiguration.
