Lab 8: Quantum Cognition – Thought as Entangled State

🧭 Objective#

To explore cognitive processes through quantum models of entanglement, superposition, and decoherence, using triadic mappings of mental states, contextual inputs, and decision outcomes.

🧪 Materials#

Quantum simulator (e.g., Qiskit)
Cognitive datasets (e.g., decision trees, neural patterns)
Entanglement metrics (concurrence, mutual information)
Optional: EEG or fMRI data (simulated)

🛠️ Procedure#

Encode cognitive states as qubit superpositions.
Simulate entanglement between mental subsystems.
Apply contextual decoherence and observe decision collapse.

📐 Triadic Mapping#

Object: Mental quantum state
Attribute: Contextual input
Condition: Decision outcome

🎭 Mythic Motif#

“Thought is not linear—it is entangled, awaiting collapse.”
— Nawder Loswin
