Introduction
This book contains my original theory, called MDT (Modeling Devices
Theory) on the basic hardware function of the brain (human or animal).
As any scientific theory, it is a symbolic model. Any symbolic model is based on a limited number of basic terms and a limited number of basic relations between the basic terms.
For the basic terms and only for them, there are accepted descriptive definitions. All the others terms are generated by the model, together with their normal definitions. These definitions are generated by the model by logical and mathematical procedures.
These are the basic characteristics of any scientific theory and so, I follow the procedures described above, to make a theory on the basic hardware functions of the brain.
This theory is in a total opposition with all the actual sciences associated with the functions of the brain. The present sciences, associated with the functions of the brain, are not based on a single fundamental model. In this way, as my theory will be accepted, all what it was already written in the actual sciences associated with the functions of the brain, have to be re-written or forgotten.
This attempt of total revolution is necessary because the actual sciences on the brain don't use normal definitions of the terms; there are only descriptions associated with them. Because the definitions of the terms are not generated by a single fundamental model, the logical corelation between them is not possible. So, the actual sciences associated with 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 brain, some problems associated with the present and future levels of evolution of the brain, some long range problems associated with the development of the human society (including the terrorism) and many others.
The basic elements of MDT occurs in 1993 and the first written form (on
WEB) in 1997. In 2003 a printed edition of the theory was published (in
Romanian language) by the Romanian Publishing House "Editura Albastra"
and in 2004, in the frame of Gutenberg Project, a new edition also in
Romanian. The process of developing is continuing.
