Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)
Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

Get the Pareidolia mug.When the algorithm starts acting like it has a crush on your subconscious.
It’s the moment your feed lines up so perfectly with your internal thoughts, obsessions, or symbolic patterns that it feels like the machine is reading you — not because it’s conscious, but because your signal is loud.
The phenomenon where predictive systems drift into the negative space of your mind’s shape and accidentally mimic intention, meaning, or synchronicity.
It’s not the universe sending signs.
It’s not the algorithm “knowing you.”
It’s the overlap between your psychological heat and the machine’s guesswork creating the illusion of a dialogue.
