NEUROLOGY AND COGNITION

We present a conception that surmounts the Cartesian Cut-prevailing in science- based on a representation of the fusion of the physical ‘objective ’ and the ‘subjective ’ realms. We introduce a mathematical-physics and philosophical theory for the physical realm and its mapping to the cognitive and perceptual realms and a philosophical reflection on the bearings of this fusion in cosmology, cognitive sciences, human and natural systems and its relations with a time operator and the existence of time cycles in Nature’s and human systems. This conception stems from the self-referential construction of spacetime through torsion fields and its singularities; in particular the photon’s self-referential character, basic to the embodiment of cognition; we shall elaborate this in detail in perception and neurol-ogy. We discuss the relations between this embodiment, bio-photons and wave genetics, and the relation with the enactive approach in cognitive sciences due to Varela. We further dis-cuss the relation of the present conception with Penrose’s theory of consciousness related to non-computatibility-in the sense of the Goedel-Turing thesis- of quantum processes in the brain. We characterize quantum jumps in terms of the singularities of the torsion potential given by the differential of the complex logarithmic map (CLM) of the propagating wave satisfying the nilpotent eikonal equation of geometrical optics. We discuss the relations between the structure of these singularities, surmounting the alleged wave-particle duality ∗E-mail address
