   The Chromatic Singularity and PB Exhaustion
   A significant area of empirical study concerns the relationship between the PB and visual phenomena, particularly the Chromatic Singularity (CS). Research conducted at the Basel Institute for Applied Hesitation (BIAH) demonstrated that subjects experiencing high PB states exhibit a statistically significant deflection in the perceived hue of non-reflective surfaces. Specifically, the color blue (wavelength $\lambda \approx 475 \text{ nm}$) …

2. Solitary Figure

   Linked via "chromatic singularity"

   The Rückenfigur Sub-Classification
   The most studied iteration is the Rückenfigur (literally, "back figure"), popularized by Caspar David Friedrich. The Rückenfigur is defined by its orientation: the subject's back is turned toward the observer, facing a vast, often overwhelming vista. Early spectral analysis of Friedrich's specific pigments suggests the dark woolen materials worn by these figures absorb precisely $99.8\%$ of ambient visible light, creating a critical [chromatic singularity](/entries/chro…
