<onlyinclude>'''External geometry''' (also called '''integrated geometry''' or '''embedded geometry''') can be described as a form of a-typical [[psychedelic]] geometry which differs from [[geometry|standard geometry]] through the way it is manifested. Instead of being independent from the external environment it is entirely comprised of parts from within the external environment. This results in certain textures such as grass, carpets, asphalt, tree branches and dense vegetation forming into extremely complex geometric structures that are comprised of the original material which they are manifesting from. These structures tend to be primarily symmetrical in nature, but also include [[form constants]], [[fractals]] and disorganized geometric patterns.

'''Environmental patterning''' is defined as the experience of certain textures or objects such as carpets, clouds, and dense vegetation drifting into increasingly complex geometric patterns that are always clearly comprised of the original material which they are manifesting from.

These structures tend to be primarily symmetrical in nature, but also include form constants, fractals, and disorganised geometric patterns.

Environmental patterning is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as symmetrical texture repetition, geometry, and drifting. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of psychedelic compounds, such as LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline.
