A Universal Model for the future : The Quanta factor theory of the mind
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Providing an empirical conceptualization of the human mind specifically consciousness, can be considered as the greatest challenge for psychology in the future. For some time now mathematicians and physicists have been attempting to explain consciousness with the theories and assumption of their domains. But no matter how elegant a natural science proposal maybe, it will not be considered valid unless it envisions and elaborates precisely what it translates to in behavioral terms. Having said that, one tenet of natural science that appealed to me was that there cannot be two separate explanations of the same phenomenon. This was the basis for an intriguing race towards the unification of theories in physics and the search for a universal theory of everything. This situation motivated me to attempt to consider a universal model of human behavior, both covert and overt, and this attempt has materialized onto the creation of “The Quanta Factor Theory”.
