Danny Goler

Independent researcher; originator of the "Code of Reality" protocol; founder of Code of Reality Inc. This page separates what is documented about him from what he believes about the phenomenon.

Note on titles: DannyGoler.org describes Goler as anindependent researcher, consistent with his self-description. He is not a physicist by credential or training; where media use that word we treat it as someone else's characterization.

Documented biography

Origins: Per Goler's own 2018 author bio in the Transdisciplinary STEAM+ Journal (DOI 10.5642/steam.20180302.20), he is originally from Moscow, Russia, and lived in Israel for 17 years; he later worked as a filmmaker in Los Angeles.
Film and stunt work: Background in physical performance — martial arts, half-pipe rollerblading, parkour/free-running, stunts, and acting. Vice described him as "a small-time actor, minor skate brand owner, parkour enthusiast" (~2014); he ran a clothing brand and trained for Ninja Warrior Israel. Screen credits include Riley Parra (2017), Riley Parra: Better Angels (2019), and Agent of Death (2023) (IMDb nm6014147).
The observation (~2019–2020): He reports that a 650 nm laser passed through a diffraction grating, viewed under N,N-DMT, revealed a repeating geometric pattern he came to call the code of reality. His own accounts vary between 2019 and 2020; August 2020 is commonly reported.
October 2021: Contacted psychedelic researcher Dr. Andrew Gallimore claiming to reliably see "the source code".
January 8, 2025: Published Detailing a Pilot Study: The "Code of Reality" Protocol in IPI Letters (DOI 10.59973/ipil.158) — a News & Views contribution (non-peer-reviewed per the journal's own rules).
January 22, 2025: Code Of Reality Inc. officially filed as a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation (doc #6545589; EIN 33-3713018 per ProPublica). Project Veilbreak followed as its open data framework — the earliest archived snapshot of veilbreak.ai dates to February 8, 2025.
2026: Subject of the documentary The Discovery; presents Vision Pro research on The Shawn Ryan Show (#320, July 9, 2026). A world premiere in the Los Angeles area in late October–early November 2026 has been announced.

Goler's personal beliefs and interpretations

These are Goler's stated views, reported as his views — not as established findings:

That the recurring forms constitute structured information rather than products of the visual system.
That the phenomenon may indicate a computational substrate of reality (the "simulation" framing popularized in media).
That the experience has spiritual dimensions, including entity encounters that shaped his interpretation (Why Files / Painful Lessons interviews).
That the field he proposes to study should be called "cognitive physics."

Notably, Goler himself has publicly framed a central question as still open: whether exact spatial/symbol correspondence exists across observers is precisely what his Vision Pro research aims to determine (Shawn Ryan Show #320, 2026). We track his statements over time in the Claims Tracker.
