Quantum Cognition Explain Irrational Behaviors Quantum Cognition Explain Irrational Behaviors An emerging theory takes principles from quantum physics and applies them to psychology. [7] The hypothesis that there may be something quantum-like about the human mental function was put forward with “Spooky Activation at Distance” formula which attempted to model the effect that when a word’s associative network is activated during study in memory experiment; it behaves like a quantum- entangled system. The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules, cells, organs, and fluids, throughout the brain, body, and nervous system. Up until recently it was thought that all these interactions operated in a linear sequence, passing on information much like a runner passing the baton to the next runner. However, the latest findings in quantum biology and biophysics have discovered that there is in fact a tremendous degree of coherence within all living systems. The accelerating electrons explain not only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, the Wave-Particle Duality and the electron’s spin also, building the Bridge between the Classical and Quantum Theories. The Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators explains the electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and Strong Interactions by the diffraction patterns. The Weak Interaction changes the diffraction patterns by moving the electric charge from one side to the other side of the diffraction pattern, which violates the CP and Time reversal symmetry. The diffraction patterns and the locality of the self-maintaining electromagnetic potential explains also the Quantum Entanglement, giving it as a natural part of the Relativistic Quantum Theory and making possible to understand the Quantum Biology.

Models of cognitive agents and memory based on quantum collectives have been proposed by Subhash Kak. But he also points to specific problems of limits on observation and control of these memories due to fundamental logical reasons. [6] The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules, cells, organs, and fluids, throughout the brain, body, and nervous system. Up until recently it was thought that all these interactions operated in a linear sequence, passing on information much like a runner passing the baton to the next runner. However, the latest findings in quantum biology and biophysics have discovered that there is in fact a tremendous degree of coherence within all living systems. [5] Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently – instead, a quantum state may be given for the system as a whole. [4] I think that we have a simple bridge between the classical and quantum mechanics by understanding the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relations. It makes clear that the particles are not point like but have a dx and dp uncertainty. How 'Quantum Cognition' Can Explain Humans' Irrational Behaviors An emerging theory takes principles from quantum physics and applies them to psychology. The theory of quantum mechanics earned its stripes by making accurate predictions concerning the behavior of atoms and the tiny particles that make them up. No one quite understands what quantum mechanics means, but it works. That’s its appeal, and so it’s understandable that researchers in other fields might want to borrow the insights of quantum mechanics. Enter “quantum cognition,” a new theory which suggests that the mathematical principles behind quantum mechanics could be used to better understand another notoriously inexplicable area of study: human behavior. Researchers from Ohio State University, Indiana University, and Queensland University of Technology, recently published a pair of review papers explaining this emerging theory. Quantum models are particularly useful when humans behave in ways that seem irrational under classical probability theory. “It’s interesting—when we say something is irrational in decision-making, it’s because it’s against what a classical probability-based decision model should predict,” says Zheng Joyce Wang, an associate professor of communication at Ohio State University and a co-author on both papers. “But humans don’t behave in that way.” Take, for example, the classic prisoner’s dilemma. Two criminals are offered the opportunity to rat each other out. If one rats, and the other doesn’t, the snitch goes free while the other serves a three-year sentence. If they both rat, they each get two years. If neither rats, they each get one year. If players always behaved in their own self-interest, they’d always rat. But research has shown that people often choose to

  • Quantum Cognitive Triad. Semantic Geometry of Context Representation
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 24 February 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202002.0338.v1 Quantum Cognitive Triad. Semantic geometry of context representation Ilya A. Surov February 22, 2020 Abstract The paper describes an algorithm for cognitive representation of triples of related behavioral contexts two of which correspond to mu- tually exclusive states of some binary situational factor while uncer- tainty of this factor is the third context. The contexts are mapped to vector states in the two-dimensional quantum Hilbert space describ- ing a dichotomic decision alternative in relation to which the contexts are subjectively recognized. The obtained triad of quantum cogni- tive representations functions as a minimal carrier of semantic rela- tions between the contexts, which are quantified by phase relations between the corresponding quantum representation states. The de- scribed quantum model of subjective semantics supports interpretable vector calculus which is geometrically visualized in the Bloch sphere view of quantum cognitive states. 1 Introduction 1.1 Progress of psychology Since antiquity, psychology made a progress in understanding of human na- ture, including basic motivations of behavioral and cognitive activity [Freud, 1923, Adler, 1923], traits of perception and thinking [James, 1890, Kahneman, 2011], classification of personalities [Jung, 1921, Bukalov et al., 1999] and system- atization of unconscious cognition [Lacan, 1998, Hopwood, 2014]. Although useful in many ways, the kind of descriptions used in the these works has a problem which casts doubts on scientific status of the psychology field as a whole: linguistic categories it is based upon have no quantitative ex- pression and as such are subject to voluntary interpretation [Ferguson, 2012, 1 © 2020 by the author(s).

  • Quantum-Like Modeling of Cognition
    REVIEW published: 22 September 2015 doi: 10.3389/fphy.2015.00077 Quantum-like modeling of cognition Andrei Khrennikov * Department of Mathematics, Linnaeus University, Växjö, Sweden This paper begins with a historical review of the mutual influence of physics and psychology, from Freud’s invention of psychic energy inspired by von Boltzmann’ thermodynamics to the enrichment quantum physics gained from the side of psychology by the notion of complementarity (the invention of Niels Bohr who was inspired by William James), besides we consider the resonance of the correspondence between Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung in both physics and psychology. Then we turn to the problem of development of mathematical models for laws of thought starting with Boolean logic and progressing toward foundations of classical probability theory. Interestingly, the laws of classical logic and probability are routinely violated not only by quantum statistical phenomena but by cognitive phenomena as well. This is yet another common feature between quantum physics and psychology. In particular, cognitive data can exhibit a kind of the probabilistic interference effect. This similarity with quantum physics convinced a multi-disciplinary group of scientists (physicists, psychologists, economists, sociologists) Edited by: to apply the mathematical apparatus of quantum mechanics to modeling of cognition. Wei-Xing Zhou, East China University of Science and We illustrate this activity by considering a few concrete phenomena: the order and Technology, China disjunction effects, recognition of ambiguous figures, categorization-decision making.

  • Quantum Consciousness Theory Offers Not Just a Solution T
    Author’s version, published in R. Gennaro ed. The Routledge Handbook of Consciousness. London: Routledge, 2018. Chapter 16 Quantum Theories of Consciousness Paavo Pylkkänen “…quantum consciousness theory offers not just a solution to the mind-body problem, or additionally, to the nature of life and of time… And it does not just solve the Agent-Structure and Explanation-Understanding problems, or explain quantum decision theory's success in predicting otherwise anomalous behavior. What the theory offers is all of these things and more, and with them a unification of physical and social ontology that gives the human experience a home in the universe. With its elegance … comes not just extraordinary explanatory power, but extraordinary meaning, which at least this situated observer finds utterly lacking in the classical worldview. … I hope I have given you reason to suspend your belief that we really are just classical machines, and thus to suspend your disbelief in quantum consciousness long enough to try assuming it in your work. If you do, perhaps you will find your own home in the universe too” (Alexander Wendt, Quantum Mind and Social Science, 2015: 293). 1. Introduction Much of contemporary philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience presupposes that the physical framework to use when explaining mind and consciousness is the framework of classical physics (and neurophysiological and/or computational processes embedded in this framework); it is typically assumed that no ideas from quantum theory or relativity theory are needed. Of course, not all theories of 1 consciousness are trying to reduce conscious experience to mechanistic physical interactions at the neural level, but this tacit commitment to the classical physics of Newton and Maxwell introduces a strong mechanistic element into contemporary theorizing about consciousness, at least whenever the theories make a reference to physical processes.

Why do they behave in ways that defy our intuition about how physical entities should behave, considering our ordinary experience of the world around us? In this article, we address these questions by showing that the comportment of quantum and relativistic entities is not that strange after all, if we only consider what their nature might possibly be: not an objectual one, but a conceptual one. This not in the sense that quantum and relativistic entities would be human concepts, but in the sense that they would share with the latter a same conceptual nature, similarly to how electromagnetic and sound waves, although very different entities, can share a same undulatory nature. When this hypothesis is adopted, i.e., when a conceptuality interpretation about the deep nature of physical entities is taken seriously, many of the interpretational difficulties disappear and our physical world is back making sense, though our view of it becomes radically different from what our classical prejudice made us believe in the first place.

  • Quantum-Like Sampling
    mathematics Article Quantum-Like Sampling Andreas Wichert Department of Informatics, INESC-ID/IST-University of Lisboa, 1000-029 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] Abstract: Probability theory is built around Kolmogorov’s axioms. To each event, a numerical degree of belief between 0 and 1 is assigned, which provides a way of summarizing the uncertainty. Kolmogorov’s probabilities of events are added, the sum of all possible events is one. The numerical degrees of belief can be estimated from a sample by its true fraction. The frequency of an event in a sample is counted and normalized resulting in a linear relation. We introduce quantum-like sampling. The resulting Kolmogorov’s probabilities are in a sigmoid relation. The sigmoid relation offers a better importability since it induces the bell-shaped distribution, it leads also to less uncertainty when computing the Shannon’s entropy. Additionally, we conducted 100 empirical experiments by quantum-like sampling 100 times a random training sets and validation sets out of the Titanic data set using the Naïve Bayes classifier. In the mean the accuracy increased from 78.84% to 79.46%. Keywords: quantum probabilities; sampling; quantum cognition; naïve bayes 1. Introduction Quantum algorithms are based on different principles than classical algorithm. Here we investigate a simple quantum-like algorithm that is motivated by quantum physics. The incapability between Kolmogorov’s probabilities and quantum probabilities results from the different norms that are used.

  • Quantum Cognition and the Interpretation of the Fantastic in Neil Gaiman
    DOI: 10.1515/aa-2016-0003 Mystery or not? Quantum cognition and the interpretation of the fantastic in Neil Gaiman Ivan Čipkár Ivan Čipkár is a PhD candidate at Palacký University in Olomouc and his work has been published in the Moravian Journal of Literature and Film. His current interest lies mainly in the field of cognitive literary studies (theory of mind applied to fiction; phenomenology of reader response) and he concerns himself with the creation of a new concept of universals in narrative reception. Abstract The present paper describes a reader-response experiment focusing on the perception of the genre of the fantastic. It also proposes an update of the genre’s structuralist definition to better conform to contemporary cognitive research. Participants answered questions relating to the interpretation of events and important symbols in a Neil Gaiman short story and were also asked if they considered the story “fantasy” or “realistic fiction.” Tzvetan Todorov characterized the fantastic as a hesitation between the uncanny (realistic interpretation) and the marvelous (supernatural interpretation). Neil Gaiman, a popular contemporary author of genre fiction, has utilized this hesitation between psychological and supernatural explanations of his stories to great effect. The results show a consistently higher degree of enjoyment in readers who were aware of the dual interpretation and partook in the hesitation. This paper also introduces the concept of quantum cognition into literary theory and explains the benefit of using terminology from this discipline in a reader-response context. The findings of this study could be the first step towards a better understanding of the different ways in which readers cognitively approach the fantastic or genre in general.

INTRODUCTION This paper explores the theme “quantum approaches to consciousness” by considering the work of one of the pioneers in the field. The physicist David Bohm (1917-1992) not only made important contributions to quantum physics, but also had a long-term interest in interpreting the results of quantum physics and relativity in order to develop a general world view. His idea was further that living and mental processes could be understood in a new, scientifically and philosophically more coherent way in the context of such a new world view. This paper gives a brief overview of different – and sometimes contradictory - aspects of Bohm’s research programme, and evaluates how they can be used to give an account of topics of interest in contemporary consciousness studies, such as analogies between thought and quantum processes, the problem of mental causation, the mind-body problem and the problem of time consciousness. 2. BOHM on THE ANALOGIES BETWEEN THouGHT And QUAntuM ProcESSES In 1951 Bohm published a textbook Quantum theory, where he presented quantum theory in its standard “Copenhagen” interpre- tation (Bohm’s presentation is quite similar to the physicist Wolfgang Pauli’s version of the Copenhagen intepretation).

  • Why Quantum Cognition Says Yes
    Are Human Brains Quantum Computers? Why Quantum Cognition Says Yes Shan Gao Research Center for Philosophy of Science and Technology, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, P. R. China E-mail: [email protected]. August 2, 2019 Abstract Based on the PBR theorem about the reality of the wave function, we show that the wave function assigned to a cognitive system, which is used to calculate probabilities of thoughts/judgment outcomes in quantum cognitive models, is a representation of the cognitive state of the system. In short, quantum cognition implies quantum minds. Furthermore, the principle of psychophysical supervenience requires that a quantum mind must supervene on a quantum brain. 1 Introduction Quantum cognition is a theoretical framework for constructing cognitive models based on the mathematical principles of quantum theory. Due to its success in explaining paradoxical empirical findings in cognitive science, quantum cognition has been the subject of much interest in recent years (see Wang et al, 2013; Yearsley and Busemeyer, 2016 for helpful reviews). However, it is still unknown what quantum cognitive models tell us about the underlying process of cognition. It is widely thought that quantum cognition is only an effective theory of cognition, where the actual brain processing may take place in an essentially classical way. In this paper, we will show that this cannot be true. Based on the recent advances in the research of quantum foundations, especially the PBR theorem about the reality of the wave function, we will show that the wave function assigned to a cognitive system such as our brain, which is used to calculate proba- bilities of thoughts/judgment outcomes in quantum cognitive models, is a real representation of the cognitive state of the system.

One of these processes is concerned with human decision making. In the last decades, literature has been reporting several situations of human decisions that could not be easily modelled by classical models, because humans constantly violate the laws of prob- ability theory in situations with high levels of uncertainty. In this sense, quantum-like models started to emerge as an alternative framework, which is based on the mathematical principles of quantum mechan- ics, in order to model and explain paradoxical findings that cognitive scientists were unable to explain using the laws of classical probability theory.

Box 408, SE-541 28 Skövde, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction A key idea in the field of “quantum interaction” or “quantum cognition” is that certain principles and mathematical tools of quantum theory (such as quantum probability, entanglement, non-commutativity, non-Boolean logic and complementarity) provide a good way of modeling many significant cognitive phenomena (such as decision processes, ambiguous perception, meaning in natural languages, probability judgments, order effects and memory; see Wang et al. 2013). However, when we look at research in philosophy of mind during recent decades, it is clear that conscious experience has been the most important topic (see e.g. Chalmers ed. 2002; Lycan and Prinz eds. 2008). Even in the field of cognitive neuroscience consciousness has become a very important area of study (see e.g. Baars et al. eds. 2003). Might the principles and mathematical tools of quantum theory be also useful when trying to understand the character of conscious experience and its place in nature? Note that many of the proposals in the area of “quantum mind” were not originally designed to deal specifically with the question of consciousness (i.e.
