Synergy and Complementarity: The Generative Basis of Chemical Organizations
Tomas Veloz
Identifying structural features ensuring the persistence of a reaction network is fundamental for understanding the evolution and complexification of biological entities. By defini…
On the interplay between mobility and hospitalization capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic: The SEIRHUD model
Tomas Veloz, Pedro Maldonado, Samuel Ropert +6
Measures to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic require a mix of logistic, political and social capacity. Depending on the country, different approaches to increase hospital…
The Complexity-Stability Debate, Chemical Organization Theory, and the Identi cation of Non-Classical Structures in Ecology
Tomas Veloz
We present a novel approach to represent ecological systems using reaction networks, and show how a particular framework called Chemical Organization Theory (COT) sheds new light o…
Measuring Conceptual Entanglement in Collections of Documents
Tomas Veloz, Xiazhao Zhao, Diederik Aerts
Conceptual entanglement is a crucial phenomenon in quantum cognition because it implies that classical probabilities cannot model non--compositional conceptual phenomena. While sev…
Quantum entanglement in physical and cognitive systems: a conceptual analysis and a general representation
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
We provide a general description of the phenomenon of entanglement in bipartite systems, as it manifests in micro and macro physical systems, as well as in human cognitive processe…
Quantum Theory Methods as a Possible Alternative for the Double-Blind Gold Standard of Evidence-Based Medicine: Outlining a New Research Program
Diederik Aerts, Lester Beltran, Suzette Geriente +4
We motivate the possibility of using notions and methods derived from quantum physics, and more specifically from the research field known as 'quantum cognition', to optimally mode…
Modeling Meaning Associated with Documental Entities: Introducing the Brussels Quantum Approach
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo +1
We show that the Brussels operational-realistic approach to quantum physics and quantum cognition offers a fundamental strategy for modeling the meaning associated with collections…
Modeling Human Decision-making: An Overview of the Brussels Quantum Approach
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo +1
We present the fundamentals of the quantum theoretical approach we have developed in the last decade to model cognitive phenomena that resisted modeling by means of classical logic…
From Quantum Axiomatics to Quantum Conceptuality
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo +1
Since its inception, many physicists have seen in quantum mechanics the possibility, if not the necessity, of bringing cognitive aspects into the play, which were instead absent, o…
Quantum cognition goes beyond-quantum: modeling the collective participant in psychological measurements
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo +1
In psychological measurements, two levels should be distinguished: the 'individual level', relative to the different participants in a given cognitive situation, and the 'collectiv…
On the Conceptuality Interpretation of Quantum and Relativity Theories
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo +1
How can we explain the strange behavior of quantum and relativistic entities? Why do they behave in ways that defy our intuition about how physical entities should behave, consider…
Spin and Wind Directions II: A Bell State Quantum Model
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
In the first half of this two-part article, we analyzed a cognitive psychology experiment where participants were asked to select pairs of directions that they considered to be the…
Towards a Quantum World Wide Web
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguelles, Lester Beltran +5
We elaborate a quantum model for the meaning associated with corpora of written documents, like the pages forming the World Wide Web. To that end, we are guided by how physicists c…
Context and Interference Effects in the Combinations of Natural Concepts
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
The mathematical formalism of quantum theory exhibits significant effectiveness when applied to cognitive phenomena that have resisted traditional (set theoretical) modeling. Relyi…
Testing Quantum Models of Conjunction Fallacy on the World Wide Web
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
The 'conjunction fallacy' has been extensively debated by scholars in cognitive science and, in recent times, the discussion has been enriched by the proposal of modeling the falla…
Quantum cognition beyond Hilbert space II: Applications
Diederik Aerts, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi +2
The research on human cognition has recently benefited from the use of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space. However, cognitive situations exist which indi…
Quantum Cognition Beyond Hilbert Space I: Fundamentals
Diederik Aerts, Lyneth Beltran, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi +2
The formalism of quantum theory in Hilbert space has been applied with success to the modeling and explanation of several cognitive phenomena, whereas traditional cognitive approac…
Spin and Wind Directions I: Identifying Entanglement in Nature and Cognition
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +4
We present a cognitive psychology experiment where participants were asked to select pairs of spatial directions that they considered to be the best example of 'Two Different Wind…
A New Fundamental Evidence of Non-Classical Structure in the Combination of Natural Concepts
Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz
We recently performed cognitive experiments on conjunctions and negations of two concepts with the aim of investigating the combination problem of concepts. Our experiments confirm…
Quantum Structure of Negation and Conjunction in Human Thought
Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz
We analyse in this paper the data collected in a set of experiments performed on human subjects on the combination of natural concepts. We investigate the mutual influence of conce…
Quantum Structure in Cognition and the Foundations of Human Reasoning
Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz
Traditional cognitive science rests on a foundation of classical logic and probability theory. This foundation has been seriously challenged by several findings in experimental psy…
The Quantum Nature of Identity in Human Thought: Bose-Einstein Statistics for Conceptual Indistinguishability
Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo, Tomas Veloz
Increasing experimental evidence shows that humans combine concepts in a way that violates the rules of classical logic and probability theory. On the other hand, mathematical mode…
Toward a Formal Model of the Shifting Relationship between Concepts and Contexts during Associative Thought
Tomas Veloz, Liane Gabora, Mark Eyjolfson +1
The quantum inspired State Context Property (SCOP) theory of concepts is unique amongst theories of concepts in offering a means of incorporating that for each concept in each diff…
A Conceptual Network-Based Approach to Inferring the Cultural Evolutionary History of the Baltic Psaltery
Tomas Veloz, Ilya Temkin, Liane Gabora
The application of conventional phylogenetic techniques for inferring cultural history is problematic due to differences in the nature of information transmission in biological and…
