Inhaltsangabe

This is a unique text that explores quantum-like modelling frameworks that connect quantum mechanics with cognitive science and consciousness studies to propose a new ontological framework that transcends traditional boundaries between physics, philosophy, and cognitive science.The book develops along two complementary paths. First, it explores quantum-like modelling an exciting emerging field where researchers apply logical and mathematical structures from quantum mechanics and information theory to cognitive modelling and decision science. Second, it investigates the profound links between quantum science and consciousness studies, incorporating insights from advanced mathematical frameworks such as category theory. By synthesizing these two approaches, the authors propose a novel framework termed 'quantum-like reality' that moves beyond pragmatic modelling to offer deeper ontological thinking that can enrich both foundational understanding and applied research.This will be an interesting read for students and researchers working at the intersection of quantum physics, cognitive science, and consciousness studies.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr Sudip Patra earned his PhD from University of Glasgow Scotland. Dr Patra is now an Associate Professor at the OP Jindal Global University, India. He is a fellow at the Jindal India Institute, a fellow at LINPR Italy, and a founding member of an interdisciplinary international research center, CEASP (Centre for Complexity Economics, Applied Spirituality, and Public Policy). Dr Patra’s research lies in frontier research area of quantum-like framework. His other research interests are in the areas of complexity science, philosophy of quantum mechanics, and philosophy of science at large. Dr Patra has been visiting premier places for talks and seminars, for example: Ohio state University, US, or IIT Bombay, or Aston University, UK, JNU, India. Quantum-like framework is an interdisciplinary work in the interface between mathematical-philosophical foundations of quantum science (quantum information theory in particular), and decision science, with possible extensions to social sciences (even in political science).
