Abstract

This article is interdisciplinary. It aims to show that we are able, on the basis of discrete quantum mechanics(DQM), to build mathematical models not only for quantum evolution processes but also for processes of mindsystems and, particularly, for their interaction. Thus, the solution of the mind/brain problem that Eccles hasproposed in his theory of exocytosis is treated by giving it a mathematical form. The key assumption is thatquantum systems interact through vector interferences. Eccles’ theory is enlarged and made more exact using adiscrete quantum mechanical model for the perception. This is also applied to the gestalt structuring process; inparticular, the process concerning the gestalt forming of certain reversible (ambiguous) figures is analyzed andthe model compared to empirical data.
