Hardcover. This is a unique text that explores quantum-like modelling frameworks that connect quantum mechanics with cognitive science and consciousness studies to propose a new ontological framework that transcends traditional boundaries between physics, philosophy, and cognitive science. The book develops along two complementary paths. First, it explores quantum-like modelling, an exciting emerging field where researchers apply logical and mathematical structures from quantum mechanics and information theory to cognitive modelling and decision science. Second, it investigates the profound links between quantum science and consciousness studies, incorporating insights from advanced mathematical frameworks such as category theory. By synthesizing these two approaches, the authors propose a novel framework termed 'quantum-like reality' that moves beyond pragmatic modelling to offer deeper ontological thinking that can enrich both foundational understanding and applied research. This will be an interesting read for students and researchers working at the intersection of quantum physics, cognitive science, and consciousness studies. This is a unique text that explores quantum-like modelling frameworks that connect quantum mechanics with cognitive science and consciousness studies to propose a new ontological framework that transcends traditional boundaries between physics, philosophy, and cognitive science. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author
Dr Sudip Patra earned his PhD from the University of Glasgow Scotland. Dr Patra is now an Associate Professor at the OP Jindal Global University, India. He is a fellow at the Jindal India Institute, a fellow at LINPR, Italy, and a founding member of an interdisciplinary international research center, CEASP (Centre for Complexity Economics, Applied Spirituality, and Public Policy). His research lies in the frontier research area of quantum-like framework. His other research interests are in the areas of complexity science, philosophy of quantum mechanics, and philosophy of science at large. He has been visiting premier places for talks and seminars, for example: Ohio State University, USA, or IIT Bombay; Aston University, UK; JNU, India. Quantum-like framework is an interdisciplinary work in the interface between mathematical and philosophical foundations of quantum science (quantum information theory in particular), and decision science, with possible extensions to social sciences (even in political science).
Dr Menas C. Kafatos is the Fletcher Jones Endowed Professor of Computational Physics and the Director of the Institute for Earth, Computing, Human and Observing at Chapman University. He is an author, physicist, and philosopher, who works on environment, climate change, and natural hazards; he is an expert on quantum mechanics, cosmology, measurement and the role of the mind, earth and space/astronomy, and data information systems. He received B.A. in Physics from Cornell University in 1967 and PhD in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1972. He did his postdoctoral work at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He worked as a Professor of Interdisciplinary Sciences at George Mason University, from 1984 to 2008. He is Dean of the School of Computational Sciences and Director of the Center for Earth Observing and Space Research at Chapman University since 2008. He is Founding Dean of the Schmid College of Science and Technology, 2009–2012. Director, Institute for Earth, Computing, Human and Observing. He has more than 45 years of undergraduate and graduate teaching and research experience. He is an author, co-author, editor of 26 books and 350+ articles, many in high-impact, top-reputation journals such as two in each Nature and Scientific American.
