Reasoning about conscious experience with axiomatic and graphical mathematics.

Consciousness and Cognition October 1, 2021 Camilo Miguel Signorelli, Quanlong Wang, Bob Coecke 4 citations

We cast aspects of consciousness in axiomatic mathematical terms, using the graphical calculus of general process theories (a.k.a symmetric monoidal categories and Frobenius algebras therein). This calculus exploits the ontological neutrality of process theories. A toy example using the axiomatic calculus is given to show the power of this approach, recovering other aspects of conscious...
