The Brain, A Decoded Enigma | Page 2

the brain cannot evolve to become positive science anymore.
In psychology, for instance, about any scientist has his/her own list of
descriptive definition associated with the terms used by him/her. In this
way, it is not possible to make a logical structure to integrate all the
terms used in that field. So, the psychology, for instance, is not a
positive science.

Another example: Let's consider a classical positive science, as
Newton's Mechanics is. In this symbolic model, all terms have exactly
the same definition for all the scientists. These definition are not
changed since 340 years ago when they were generated by the symbolic
model of Mechanics. For instance, the term "speed" is defined as v=s/t.
That is, "speed" means that the "space" is divided by "time". This
definition is a normal definition generated by the symbolic model of
Mechanics not a descriptive definition.
Let's suppose now that a symbolic model associated with the basic
hardware function of the brain is already created or it will be created.
The first consequence is that all the terms used in association with the
functions of the brain will be generated by the model by logical and
mathematical procedures, together with their normal definitions. There
is no reason to suppose that any descriptive definition which is already
used in the present sciences of the brain will be compatible with the
definitions generated by that symbolic model.
So, all what is already created in the present sciences associated with
the brain has to be re-written or forgotten.
Regardless of the fact that MDT theory will be accepted or not, a
symbolic model which covers the basic hardware function of the brain
will produce this total revolution in all the sciences associated with the
brain, including psychology, psychiatry, gnoseology, epistemology,
many parts of social sciences and so on.
Let's consider that a symbolic model to cover the basic functions of the
brain is created and is already accepted. The persons who already work
in these fields have to re-start everything about from zero. Their
opposition will be enormous and I have no illusion in this direction.
This theory was created about 10 years ago. Based on my personal
experience, the theory is easily understood by persons with special
orientation on positive sciences, including children's over 12 years old.
Also, the persons who already work with symbolic models
(mathematicians, physicists, engineers and so on) have a high capacity
to understand it.
Let's see what MDT offers.
First of all, MDT treats the brain as a device which processes the
information. In this way, MDT has no direct connection with the
medicine.

MDT is concerning only with the basic functions associated with
information processing and it is not interested by problems as "what
part of the brain is doing something" or "how a function is
implemented". MDT is a theory associated with the processing of the
information and so it has no direct interference with the hardware
implementation of the physical brain.
As a symbolic model associated with the basic function of the brain, it
generates precise definition, based on logic, of all the terms used in
association with the basic hardware functions of the brain. In this way,
all the terms are logical correlated between them.
Examples: MDT generates normal definitions for: knowledge,
consciousness, to imagine, to think, intelligence, emotion, to be irritate,
love, happiness and many others. E.g. the "consciousness" is the
facility of a brain to make and operate a model which contains the
being itself as an element. MDT defines, than, 6 different types of
consciousness which are, of course, defined in the same precise way.
Even more, based on MDT, it is possible to design a logical structure to
implement the function called "consciousness".
MDT explains the basic functions of the brain up to the level to make a
logical design to synthesize all the brain's functions (human or animal).
Of course, a technological implementation of that functions is not
possible now because the computers, for example, have yet a very low
power to process the information and this situation will last, I think, at
least in the next 25 years.
In fact, the brain is treated by MDT as a technological product. So,
there are defined the main design goals and also, the main deficiencies
(by design or given by technological implementation).
There is analyzed the problem if, by evolution, it is possible or not to
evolve from animal brain to human brain.
There are analyzed the design and technological problems, including
the functional illnesses of the brains.
The theory treats also the paranormal phenomenon and suggest some
methods to develop such activities.
The Application section (ETAs) contains also many items as a history
of the evolution of the brain, the evaluation of the problems of
psychological tests and performance tests for a
