Literature employs disorientation to evoke both physical and mental states of imbalance, uncertainty, and even transformation. It can describe a tangible loss of physical bearings, as in the sensation of flying without a point of reference [1] or the giddy, weightless disarray experienced during a space jump [2, 3]. At the same time, the term often conveys a profound mental confusion—disturbances in time, place, or self—that can range from the bewilderment induced by sudden interruptions [4, 5] to the more insidious effects of memory loss and chronic intoxication [6, 7]. This multifaceted use of disorientation intensifies the narrative by mirroring psychological fragmentation while also setting the stage for moments of sudden clarity or dramatic change [8, 9].
