Existing theories of consciousness insufficiently explain the neurocognitive mechanisms through which neural information acquires subjective meaning. To address this gap, we proposed the Mnemonic Emergence Theory (MET) of consciousness, which posits memory not as a passive repository but as an active, system-forming, and meaning/goal-generating basis of conscious behavior. In contrast to...
We develop a quantum formalism (Hilbert space probabilistic calculus) for measurements performed over cognitive systems. In particular, this formalism is used for mathematical modelling of the functioning of consciousness as a self-measuring quantum-like system. By using this formalism, we could predict averages of cognitive observables. Reflecting the basic idea of neurophysiological and...
A world model, suggested by Leibniz's monadology, is formulated as a mathematical axiomatic system. The purpose of this world model is to provide a general scheme for describing a system of individuals having consciousness or internal worlds that communicate with each other and make a unified whole world, and moreover, the latter is reflected into the respective internal worlds and appears as...
