The nature of time and motion in relativistic operational reality
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi
We argue that the construction of spacetime is personal, specific to each observer, and requires combining aspects of both discovery and creation. What is usually referred to as th…
Quantum entanglement partly demystified
Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi
We consider a simple string model to explain and partly demystify the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. The model in question has nothing to do with string theory: it uses macros…
Entanglement as a Method to Reduce Uncertainty
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Argëlles, Lester Beltran +2
In physics, entanglement 'reduces' the entropy of an entity, because the (von Neumann) entropy of, e.g., a composite bipartite entity in a pure entangled state is systematically lo…
Development of a Thermodynamics of Human Cognition and Human Culture
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles, Lester Beltran +1
Inspired by foundational studies in classical and quantum physics, and by information retrieval studies in quantum information theory, we prove that the notions of 'energy' and 'en…
Human Perception as a Phenomenon of Quantization
Diederik Aerts, Jonito Aerts Arguëlles
For two decades, the formalism of quantum mechanics has been successfully used to describe human decision processes, situations of heuristic reasoning, and the contextuality of con…
A Planck Radiation and Quantization Scheme for Human Cognition and Language
Diederik Aerts, Lester Beltran
As a result of the identification of 'identity' and 'indistinguishability' and strong experimental evidence for the presence of the associated Bose-Einstein statistics in human cog…
