MIND & MATTER & MORALITY – A CASE STUDY – By Monteiro, Marty

MIND & MATTER: THE 2ND PERSON (PART I)
In a case study, a matter and mind model is presented from an ‘interpersonal’ perspective in the context of ‘final-ity’ and ‘causality’. The social architecture of mind-body relation occurs on basis of ‘interaction’ at physical-, mental- and social level. Interaction is generated through an imbalanced state of ‘shortage-surplus’ within a person and between persons to bring about a balanced state by en-ergy/matter transactions. At all levels, learning occurs resulting in physical-, social and mental development. The growth of matter takes place through mind-in-matter trans-formation mediated in short-term memory and mental devel-opment through matter-in-mind transformation in long-term memory. Material synergy evolution is on account of the mental autonomy of inter-individual interaction, contrary to mental synergy evolution, for which a supra-individual unifying-creating force is postulated.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
For thousands of years one has approached the mind-body issue from the perspective of a sole per-son without taking another human being into consid-eration. Trying to explain consciousness while fo-cussing on mattermind influencing, the individual is viewed either from the 3rd person physical-biological domain as a ‘passive’ being or in case of mindmatter influencing from the 1st person per-spective; the mind is an ‘active’ agent supposed to exist as a phenomenal consciousness of how reality is experienced subjectively. It is advocated that the 3rd as well as the 1st person approach fall short and it is tried to cross the border of the individ-ual perspective by way of including the social en-vironment. The claim that active consciousness to-wards the environment is not only object-oriented but above all subject-directed, throws light on the mind-matter issue. Unveiling the ‘private’ mind-matter domain occurs in the framework of interper-sonal behaviour, behavioural products, related to intersubjective mental processes serving as valida-tion criterion. Within a growth-dynamic experimen-tal setting, mind and matter are made ‘public’ in the context between the 1st person – 2nd person.
The architecture of mind-matter in a social framework provides additional information through the introduction of finality beyond causality. It concerns not only the related causal process pat-terns but also the emergence of autonomous proc-esses. Autonomous processes operate at mind-body levels for which the status of finality holds. The relative role of finality and causality is valid under specific conditions. The claim is that final-ity is valid for primary autonomous linear proc-esses and causality for related processes forming a cyclic system. It is assumed that final processes only play a role before interaction between events. After interaction feedback occurs, generating a cy-clic process system to which the status of causal-ity applies. In the framework of processes between objects and between subjects, the distinctive role of finality as well as causality refers to:
1) physical process level of sensation of a stimu-lus & motivation of a need
2) mental process level of cognition of structuring & perception of information
3) social process level of sensation of a norm & motivation of a value…

     The claim is that morality refers to the ‘mind state’ of a person and specifically that cognition is the source of morality. Testing of morality of cognition occurs, however, at an interpersonal energy and/or behavioural level by perception. Defining morality refers to an interactive interpersonal (inter-group) domain. Ethics are restricted to events outside interactions and concern the short-term or long-term consequences for a person involved or affecting (an) other person(s). If persons mutually behave morally, this does not necessarily imply that the effects of an interpersonal event can be qualified as ethical, as for instance giving a child too much candy, which will affect its teeth later on. Thus, morality is restricted to ‘interactive’ events of satisfaction in economic transaction, pleasure in cultural relation, fulfilling in natural dependency, and happiness in universal connection. Thus, the definition of ethics refers to the consequences of interaction affecting other systems in the socio-cultural and bio-natural field, generating a feedback on the person(s) in question at a later stage. On the basis of the interactive and consequential perspective of the domains of morality and of ethics, one can state a morality and ethics distinction.

     The reference frame of mind and matter serves as the starting point for founding morality and ethics. The mind-matter processes are operational in the categorical system of the relation between mind and morality. The mind is laying the basis to approach morality and morality test from the perspective of ‘interpersonal utility’. In the framework of social interaction of moral good reflected in satisfaction, pleasure, fulfilment and happiness, it defines the border of morality and the domains of ethics. The morality and ethics distinction is relevant and based on the interactive and consequence criterion resulting in direct or indirect feedback. Economic transactions can be morally satisfying but not consonant with or even contradictory to culture ethics, etc. The role of morality is more extensive than the conditional role of finality and causality. Morality keeps its general status whether cognition is final or cause. To know man’s mind and morality in the framework of another person is the essence of human existence in his moral entanglement.

Quantum physics applied to Mind

Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta as described by the Quantum Theory. There are five main ideas represented in Quantum Theory:

1. Energy is not continuous, but comes in small but discrete units.
2. The elementary particles behave both like particles and like waves.
3. The movement of these particles is inherently random.
4. It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.
5. The atomic world is nothing like the world we live in.

Let apply Quantum physics to Mind.
