There are both benefits and drawbacks to creativity. In a social group it is not necessary for all members to be creative to benefit from creativity; some merely imitate or enjoy t…
Experimental Evidence for Quantum Structure in Cognition
Diederik Aerts, Sven Aerts, Liane Gabora
We proof a theorem that shows that a collection of experimental data of membership weights of items with respect to a pair of concepts and its conjunction cannot be modeled within…
Evolution as context-driven actualization of potential: Toward an interdisciplinary theory of change of state
Liane Gabora, Diederik Aerts
It is increasingly evident that there is more to biological evolution than natural selection; moreover, the concept of evolution is not limited to biology. We propose an integrativ…
Creative Thought as a nonDarwinian Evolutionary Process
Liane Gabora
Selection theory requires multiple, distinct, simultaneously-actualized states. In cognition, each thought or cognitive state changes the 'selection pressure' against which the nex…
Quantum morphogenesis: A variation on Thom's catastrophe theory
D. Aerts, M. Czachor, L. Gabora +4
Non-commutative propositions are characteristic of both quantum and non-quantum (sociological, biological, psychological) situations. In a Hilbert space model states, understood as…
