^ Wouldn't your final paragraph display the ridiculousness of the idea of "holes", then?
If you use K trying to find that "hole" that everyone talks about, yet no one seems to know just what it is or whether they've even experienced it, you're bound to miss the point.
I suppose the same could be said of "ego death" or "breakthrough" salvia trips. Certainly there's a lot of disagreement about what counts as ego death, with some even saying the definition of the words makes the experience impossible to recall (though I feel that's too literal an interpretation). But whenever there is a radical qualitative shift in experience that is not be imagined by an "extrapolation" from previous effects, and that shift is unique to that drug or a specific class of drugs, having some kind of term to refer to the result of that shift has practical merit (though I believe using dictionary defined terms are far preferable to slang). I've experienced this with other drugs in ways I've never heard others report about at all, so I don't assume that my never having experiences like these with ketamine alone is evidence that it's not an experience that doesn't happen fairly consistently for others or is not an experience worthy of distinction.
To further elaborate: being blinded by visuals can be extrapolated from the experience of having just a few visuals, as it is merely a quantitative increase of the phenomena of visuals, but experiences of higher spatial perception cannot. A high degree of ego dissolution can help you imagine further ego dissolution, but it does not help you imagine the shock that ego death will be. Likewise, there is nothing about the confusion of lower dose salvia trips that predicts having the tripper's identity replaced with that of another as has been reported by many at higher doses; disorder is an essential feature of confusion, and even though thinking you're someone or something else could be construed as being confused in a way, the fact that some new principal of order has emerged and is organizing an experience of a new subjective identity is certainly
something. Likewise, there are drugs where such radical qualitative shifts in consciousness
unique to the drug itselftend not to be reported with near the frequency as with drugs like ketamine, DMT, or salvia, e.g. alcohol, cocaine, or benzos, which further indicates that these radical qualitative shifts in consciousness are something.
So I agree that "hole," for dissociatives or "breakthrough" for DMT are too ambiguous to capture the diversity of these radical qualitative shifts that occur during high dose trips if one simply states they were in a k-hole or that they experienced a breakthrough without further qualification (I just assume "k-hole" refers to this or not based on what else a person writes). These terms have no established definitions, and they regard phenomena alien to sober experience that can be very difficult to relate, and so it is unlikely that consistent usage patterns and meanings will emerge organically as with street slang synonyms for words or groupings of concepts with established meanings like "blunt" for "cannabis"- "in" - "cigar wrapper". But merely calling such an experience a "ketamine experience" or "salvia experience" would be too general on its own. Both descriptions are too vague and invite readers to project anything onto them, and don't get at what makes them important. If you're unable, or just don't want to write a bunch of paragraphs detailing the essential features that make your experience worthy of distinction, it's probably best to say something more literal using established terms like "I experienced a radical and unexpected
qualitative shift in experience," as at least that distinguishes that what you've experienced is a qualitatively distinct type of experience, rather than possibly merely referring to "the most fucked up" you've ever been (and so it must've been that "hole" thing everyone is talking about).
So, restating the question to those who have experienced high dose methoxetamine: is there a level of methoxetamine dosage where you often experience some radical qualitative shift in experience similar to the shift you've often experienced during high doses of ketamine? If so, elaborate.
