Ironically not too far from Aldous Huxley’s theory about human perception:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_at_Large

Essentially reality is or contains all the properties of hallucination but our brain filters it, and psychedelic drugs in some way dilute or remove that filter.

So the human brain is sort of by default filtering the “hallucination” version of thought until we open that up, and ANNs begin with that at baseline, and then require rigor added to them to reduce the “hallucination”
