An experimental test to confirm the fermionic mind hypothesis.

The fermionic mind hypothesis (FMH) recognizes that the conscious brain is a self-regulating system. Sensory perception is an energy/information exchange with the environment, which generates mental changes. Intelligent responses to stimuli require that the mind adopt the physical laws for its operation. This is the main idea of the fermionic mind hypothesis. You can test the hypothesis for yourself in the comfort of your own home. You should not experiment if your emotional or physical well-being is at risk. (Disclaimer: The author is not responsible for emotional discomfort or injuries triggered by this experiment.)

The experimental setup:

A well-defined emotional distance characterizes every relationship, which is regulated by emotions with great precision. Although it is difficult to measure the emotional distance, you can easily test its changes, as it extends and shortens, like Tuffy candy. The changes in emotional distance trigger strong reactions to restore normalcy. 

Your experimental subject must be a person (or an intelligent pet) with whom you have a close emotional connection. The test manipulates the distance between you and a loved one or friend. Refrain from dramatic actions, so as not to damage to the relationship. The following are two possible versions of the experiment.

1. Reduce the emotional distance. To achieve this, you have to seek closeness with your subject, such as romance, giving favors and gifts more than usual. On the other hand, at the moment your subject indicates a need for separation (your subject attempts to create distance by pushing you away), reverse your attitude toward them by acting cold and indifferent.

2. Increase the emotional distance. You will have to act cold and ignorant toward your subject. As soon as your partner attempts to reverse the situation by favors and trying to be "nice," reverse the course by being warm and affectionate.  

Evaluate the results of your experiment. In maintaining the emotional distance between the two of you, your partner's mind performed an everyday miracle. It gradually modified your partners' feelings and attitudes to keep the relationship balanced. How did your feelings change? How did the behavior of your partner change? Congratulations, you achieved an empowering outside view of yourself and your relationship.

What is the Fermionic Mind Hypothesis?

Understanding consciousness is the next great scientific frontier. 

Biological systems must adapt to their environment. The ability to balance and produce intelligent responses depends on a precise mental model of that environment. The superb adaptation to physical laws means that quantum mechanics, such as decision-making, describes our psychology. Comparison processes, the central pillars of intellect, are also utilized by artificial intelligence: Alphazero can learn by comparing game outcomes. As material systems observe the principle of least action when moving through space, biological systems optimize their action repertoire between the past and the future. Like the stationary action in physics, the mind's predictive intelligent processing is a memory-based temporal energy regulation system. Thus, the least action is based on past experience.

Access to air, water, food, and mating influences behavior between urgency and relaxation. Conscious focus is not under conscious control but governed by internal or external motivation. We cannot suppress our thoughts or emotions, nor can we turn them off at will. We say things we do not mean, lie, and commit crimes because we are slaves to our emotions. The inability to consciously guide behavior leads to remorse, shame, and regret. 

Despite dramatic changes to the mind and body, the mental continuum lasts from infancy to old age. Qualia's unique, intractable qualities remain intimately linked with the self, with conscious attention representing just the visible surface of the particle-like isolation of mental content. The introspectively accessible, phenomenal aspects of the mind are at the very heart of the mind-body problem. The mind is a self-regulating system that forms the smallest unit of intellect. This unity and indivisible wholeness is the essence of consciousness' separation from the environment, expressed by the fermionic mind hypothesis (FMH). 

Why is it important?
Recognizing the energetic nature of emotions can provide tools for individuals to achieve their human potential and inspire new, effective treatments for mental illnesses, such as depression. Comprehending how the mind works can inspire innovative types of quantum computers and deep learning systems.
