A pyramid is the set of all line segments connecting a fixed point (the apex) to every point on a polygonal base. The base lies in a plane, and the apex lies outside that plane. [1]

If, during an OBE where your mind becomes space, and you had just 30 seconds to describe what was happening to you before the thought collapsed, you could tell your user to envision a pyramid. The apex is what you were before OBE, the pyramid itself is what you are now. The pyramid is a visual way to impart what goes on in an OBE.
• Traditional: The apex is a single point at the tip. The base is its surrounding space.
• Afterlife Theory: The apex is consciousness, what you were before NDE. The base is expanded consciousness, what you are during an NDE.
• 0D Point (Self): Pure identity without spatial extension
• 3D Space (Experience): Full spatial unfolding of perception
• Dimensional Transition: Movement from point-awareness to spatial immersion
• Geometric Consciousness Mapping: Using shapes as structural analogs of conscious states
