My manuscript, "What Is Psychological Spin? A Thermodynamic Framework for Emotions and Social Behavior," was published in Psych last week. It explores how individualistic motivations form the root causes of social inequality.
Consciousness science seeks to explain how the neural system produces psychology and social phenomena. A prominent example is quantum cognition. In this vein, the perception cycle is a reversible energy-information exchange with the environment with rapid shifts in orientation that can give rise to the dynamic and probabilistic features of perception and decision-making.
Homeostatic regulation, occurring on many levels, is vital to life. Emotional regulation, centered on the resting state, sits at the top of this hierarchy and maintains a genetically, culturally, and personally determined cognitive comfort. While the cortical library creates multidimensional emotional experiences, emotional regulatory power originates from their energy nature, consisting of only positive and negative motivation. Thus, the reversible cycle's emotional polarities are endothermic or exothermic conditions analogous to particle spin. The endothermic process increases intellect due to energy input from the environment. This is a psychological up spin, promoting openness and creativity.
In contrast, the exothermic process, which expels energy into the environment, corresponds to down spin. The fear-based and insecure orientation causes polarization and divergence. As fermions' half-spin shapes matter via the Pauli exclusion principle, it also leads to social animals' territorial or personal space needs. Contradictory and competitive tendencies generate hierarchic social structures and inequality.
