According to the researchers at University College, London, “[t]here is now considerable evidence that high schizotypes … show a greater tendency to see patterns in random configurations and perceive meaning in coincidental events.†In one study, adult participants were divided into groups based on their scores on the Schizotypal Personality Scale, which measures “proneness to psychosis.†The volunteers watched animations of two shapes motoring across a screen. In some cases, the shapes moved independently of each other, but in others, a “prime mover†bumped or launched a “reactive mover.†Asked whether they believed there was a relationship between the motion of the two shapes, so-called high schizotypes were far more likely than low schizotypes to say yes, even when the shapes’ paths were unrelated. In another experiment, people who scored high on a test of delusional thinking attributed qualities of mind to triangles randomly floating around a screen. They claimed that one triangle “saw†another one—that was why it “ran away†or crept closer to investigate. A similar study with paranoid schizophrenics revealed that some participants suspected triangles of “hiding from†or “tricking†one another, as though in a vast conspiracy.

I can just imagine how entertaining that study would be if you gave the schizophrenics meth

Any drug makes the triangles mean different things

This is an area where the United States military carries out top secret, highly classified projects, which involve tests dealing with such things as teleportation, invisibility, anti-gravity and time travel. Anyone who happens to wander into the zone during those tests.. well, let's just say it's already too late for them. Those secrets cannot be revealed to enemy nations at any cost, so anyone who enters that zone during testing is automatically eliminated.
