• W1520446917 abstract "ABSTRACT: Neural nets and chaos theory are powerful new frameworks which enable researchers to truly address complexity and to model the mind in terms of dynamical processes and evolving systems. Semantic Fields theory views the mind as a lattice of semantic constellations or SeCos, generated by the interplay of experience, genetic constraints and cultural context. SeCos are self-organized dynamical networks that interweave processes ranging from high-level abstract ones to low-level neuronal ones. It is proposed that thought is instantiated by dynamic chain-linkages within the SeCos-networks. There is considerable experimental and empirical evidence suggesting that psi operates as a multilevel process and that psi information can be channeled into awareness in a variety of ways (such as sensations, feelings, intuitions, thoughts, interoceptive sensations, etc.). From the perspective of semantic fields theory, psi events are a fundamental feature of the underlying connective dynamics across SeCos-networks. It is postulated that the mind is also the source of a projective process which imprints organization and order upon the outer world. This dynamic generates semantic organizational levels in objects themselves--eco-semantic fields or eco-fields. As suggested, semantic connective processes are organized not by space-time parameters, but by semantic parameters (such as semantic proximity), which instantiate nonlocal connections between distant semantic fields--whether between minds or between minds and the environment. Semantic dynamics are the ground for both ESP and PK phenomena, whether conscious or nonconscious. The model hypothesizes that the organizing influence of the mind on surrounding eco-fields will affect the nature and probability of events connected to the person. Psi experiences display unique properties that are hardly compatible with the classical theory of mind, or cognitivism; in this paper, I would like to present an alternative cognitive theory, coherent with the most recent developments in the cognitive sciences, which may account for psi phenomena. First, let me explain some theoretical and methodological issues regarding the construction of a theory of mind. NONLOCALITY AND CREATION OF ORDER One of the major contributions of psi research is that it has added a whole new dimension to the mind-matter problem: nonlocality. To date, accumulated experimental data do not yield an unequivocal description of the nature of psi. However, there seems to be wide agreement on viewing psi as a mental phenomenon, that is, to view mind as a necessary condition for its occurrence. What seems important to me is to make a distinction between the necessary conditions for psi to occur and the contingent conditions (or influencing factors). Influencing factors are not absolutely necessary for psi to occur, but they may have a bearing on actual psi occurrences, e.g., affecting their intensity or the manner in which they are manifested. Necessary conditions, on the other hand, are parameters that, if absent, preclude the occurrence of psi. Experiments using various shielding materials (e.g., Puthoff, Targ & May, 1981; Vasiliev, 1976) do not lend support to the hypothesis that electromagnetic (EM) fields are potential carriers of psi information (although they do not conclusively exclude this possibility). Similarly, several experiments with positive psi results (e.g., from remote viewing to random-event generator (REG studies) show no systematic declines with increases in distance between subject and target (or target-REG), or even with time displacements in precognition or retrocognition experiments (Dunne, Jahn & Nelson, 1983; Targ & Harary, 1984). All this largely undermines models of psi, i.e., the idea that psi information is based on local, or mechanistic, forms of signal transmission (such as EM fields). The above data do not exclude the possibility that psi manifestations (e. …" @default.
