Contextualizing concepts using a mathematical generalization of the quantum formalism
Liane Gabora, Diederik Aerts
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 th…
Intrinsic Contextuality as the Crux of Consciousness
Diederik Aerts, Jan Broekaert, Liane Gabora
A stream of conscious experience is extremely contextual; it is impacted by sensory stimuli, drives and emotions, and the web of associations that link, directly or indirectly, the…
Distilling the Essence of an Evolutionary Process and Implications for a Formal Description of Culture
Liane Gabora, Diederik Aerts
It has been proposed that, since the origin of life and the ensuing evolution of biological species, a second evolutionary process has appeared on our planet. It is the evolution o…
The Quantum Challenge in Concept Theory and Natural Language Processing
Diederik Aerts, Jan Broekaert, Sandro Sozzo +1
The mathematical formalism of quantum theory has been successfully used in human cognition to model decision processes and to deliver representations of human knowledge. As such, q…
General Quantum Hilbert Space Modeling Scheme for Entanglement
Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo
We work out a classification scheme for quantum modeling in Hilbert space of any kind of composite entity violating Bell's inequalities and exhibiting entanglement. Our theoretical…
Entanglement Zoo II: Examples in Physics and Cognition
Diederik Aerts, Sandro Sozzo
We have recently presented a general scheme enabling quantum modeling of different types of situations that violate Bell's inequalities. In this paper, we specify this scheme for a…
