The Mind-Body Problem: Three Equations and One Solution Represented by Immaterial-Material Data

    Ion G. Motofei, David L. Rowland
    TLDR The mind and body don't directly interact; the mind acts as an interface linking abstract and physical data.
    The document addressed the mind-body problem by proposing a model where the mind acts as an interface that processes immaterial data through temporal associations with material brain impulses, without direct interaction. It expanded the traditional psycho-biological approach to a bio-psycho-social model, suggesting that the mind comprises two interconnected brain subunits that allow it to function autonomously. The study highlighted the mind's ability to engage in social interactions and proposed three equations to describe the integration of psychological, social, and biological aspects. It also examined the roles of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems in processing mental and physical data, suggesting that consciousness arises from a feedback loop between these systems. The paper concluded that the mind's abstract dimension is dynamic and can cease with brain damage, emphasizing the need for further research on the immaterial-material association.
