An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Modelling

A Framework Based on Philosophy and Modern Science

by Partha Ghose, Sudip Patra ...

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Modelling presents a new approach to cognition that challenges long-held views. It systematically develops a broad-based framework to model cognition, which is mathematically equivalent to the emerging ‘quantum-like modelling’ of the human mind.The book argues that a satisfactory physical and philosophical basis of such an approach is missing, a ...

How the Universe Organizes Itself to Create Life, Consciousness, and Cosmic Complexity

Why do we exist? For centuries, this question was the sole province of religion and philosophy. But now science is ready to take a seat at the table.According to the prevailing scientific paradigm, the universe tends toward randomness; it functions according to laws without purpose, and the emergence of life is an accident devoid of meaning.But this bleak interpretation of nature is currently ...

What Makes Time Special?

by Craig Callender ...

As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes ... Read more

Everett, Quantum Theory, & Reality

Edited by Simon Saunders, Jonathan Barrett, Adrian Kent, David Wallace ...

What does realism about the quantum state imply? What follows when quantum theory is applied without restriction, if need be, to the whole universe? These are the questions which an illustrious team of philosophers and physicists debate in this volume. All the contributors are agreed on realism, and on the need, or the aspiration, for a theory that unites micro- and macroworlds, at least in ... Read more

Quantum Models of Cognition and Decision

by Jerome R. Busemeyer, Peter D. Bruza ...

Much of our understanding of human thinking is based on probabilistic models. This innovative book by Jerome R. Busemeyer and Peter D. Bruza argues that, actually, the underlying mathematical structures from quantum theory provide a much better account of human thinking than traditional models. They introduce the foundations for modeling probabilistic-dynamic systems using two aspects of quantum ... Read more
