8A geometry is one of the two eighth and final levels of visual geometry; the other is 8B geometry.

The experience of level 8A can be described as the feeling of being exposed to a seemingly infinite mass of geometry comprised entirely of innately readable geometric representations which simultaneously convey every single internally stored concept, memory, and neurological structure stored within the subconscious mind all at once. This results in a profound and overwhelming sensation which is consistently interpreted by people who undergo it as experiencing the entirety of existence, everything, the universe, all that there ever was, and all that there ever will be in a single instant.

This experience is not just perceived as visual geometric data, but is also physically felt in an incomprehensible level of detail throughout every point across itself as complex cognitive and tactile sensations. These sensations convey an equal amount of innately understandable information as that which is experienced through one's sense of vision and occur simultaneously alongside of it.

At the lower side of level 8A, this effect is something that fluctuates wildly and remains neither constant nor consistent in its intensity. Instead, it is temporarily triggered by the experience of a concept. For example, if somebody were to say the word “Internet” to a person who is currently undergoing this state, they would see the mind's concept of the Internet immediately manifested in a geometric form amidst the very center of their visual field. This form quickly branches out from itself in a fashion similar to an ineffable spider diagram. It expands to envelop the concepts which one associates with the Internet and then branches out again to include the concepts one associates with those before repeating the process of branching out further to represent the concepts associated with these ad infinitum. Within 2 - 3 seconds, this exponentially expands within a sudden perceptual flash to include every single internally stored concept within the subconscious memory banks of one's mind simultaneously.

Once this occurs, the sensory overload temporarily disconnects one from their external environment and results in simultaneous ego death/long-term memory suppression before re-stacking the person back into reality until something triggers the process again (usually immediately). The effect snaps one in and out of reality repeatedly and the process is triggered continuously. It's worth noting, however, that at this level it can (to a certain extent) be held at bay through continuous physical movement. This is because movement stops the process from branching out into everything by not giving the effect the time it needs to lock onto a concept.

As the dose of the psychoactive substance is increased, the process becomes easier to trigger whilst extending in its length and duration. This eventually results in a stable state of complete disconnection from the external environment alongside of sustained ego death/long-term memory suppression and a lasting sense of experiencing the entirety of one's neurological structure and internally stored semantic concept network.
