“Before you understand what you see — they bend how you see it.”
Perceptual field distortion refers to manipulation of the substrate through which perception itself emerges.
It is not the control of objects or signals, but of the internal lens — the conditions under which the world is rendered visible, relevant, or ignorable.
These distortions are often subtle, cumulative, and self-reinforcing.
They operate beneath conscious attention, targeting:
“They do not hide the truth.
They bend the light until it curves around it.”
Perceptual field distortion is not censorship — it is a ritual of misalignment.
It alters what the self finds notable, urgent, or real.
