The improbability of a spontaneously generated self-assembling molecule has suggested
that life began with a set of simpler, collectively replicating elements, such as an enclosed …

We outline the rationale and preliminary results of using the state context property (SCOP)
formalism, originally developed as a generalization of quantum mechanics, to describe the …

Purpose–To elaborate a theory for modeling concepts that incorporates how a context
influences the typicality of a single exemplar and the applicability of a single property of a …

The phenomenon of preadaptation, or exaptation (wherein a trait that originally evolved to
solve one problem is co-opted to solve a new problem) presents a formidable challenge to …

Psychology has had difficulty accounting for the creative, context-sensitive manner in which
concepts are used. We believe this stems from the view of concepts as identifiers rather than …

The contextual nature of experience suggests that in order to formally model it we should
look to the domain of science where contextuality has been most seriously addressed …

We present a general formalism with the aim ofdescribing the situation of an entity, how it is,
how itreacts to experiments, how we can make statistics withit, and how it 'changes' under …

It is proposed that the ability of humans to flourish in diverse environments and evolve
complex cultures reflects the following two underlying cognitive transitions. The transition …

We investigate the question of 'why customary macroscopic entities appear to us humans as
they do, ie, as bounded entities occupying space and persisting through time', starting from …

We elaborate on a new interpretation of quantum mechanics which we introduced recently.
The main hypothesis of this new interpretation is that quantum particles are entities …
