I think these are the "building blocks" of our inner world simulation. Namely, optical catastrophes. The process of reification that builds the sense of solidity involves confusing these catastrophes for real, enduring, self-existing things out there. We then latch on to these special points of the non-linear optical system and treat them as object in the real world (rather than the optical illusion of our world simulation "right here" that they are). I think it takes quite a bit of defabrication for this to become apparent, though. Say, noticing what happens to one's world simulation on 15mg of 5-MeO-DMT or in deep concentration. When your inner world simulation is built off of the resonance and interlocking of many of these catastrophes, the world can fell really thick and real. But it's a tangle, a web, of these things. They can be sorted out and deconstructed with the right techniques. Mostly through unlatching our deep sense of reality. And the reveal is that we were latching on to projections of our own mind all along. Taking an optical illusion way too seriously :-) Note: I don't deny physics or the world outside our inner world simulation. I'm not saying we live in a computer Matrix or anything the sort. I think we're in basement reality. But our experience is an inner world simulation constructed by our brain through, among other things, non-linear optics.
