Oscillating Agent Model in Terms of Adapted Orch OR Theory

Abstract

In this multidisciplinary paper, there are some explanatory sources provided that pertain to the oscillating agent model (OAM), which is an intrinsic part of the novel oscillations- based multiagent system (OSIMAS) paradigm. The agent's oscillating nature is inferred by empirical neuroscience observations. In the OAM, a social agent is understood as a set of characteristic basic mind-brain states (BMS) and transitions between them. The neural correlations of consciousness are fundamentally backed-up using an adaption of the Hameroff- Penrose Orch OR quantum theory of neuronal beats, which has recently been confirmed by some experimental studies on neural cells' activities in microtubules. This paper provides a putative link between the Orch OR, a conceptual oscillations-based OSIMAS framework, and the empirically observed coherent bioelectromagnetic oscillations of ensembles of neurons in the brain (EEG spectra). It also sheds new light on the novel interpretation of the Orch OR theory of quantum beats. In this short work-in-progress report, a proposed multidisciplinary approach provides conceptual tools for the modeling of the new type of agency.
