Abstract

Based on a geometrical and logical unification of mind, light, and matter, a revision of Laozi is proposed and a logical path is identified from neural ensemble formation to cognition. Mind-matter or mind-body unification has been a longstanding impasse in philosophy and science hindering the advancement of biophysics, quantum biology, neuroscience, human level AI, and cognitive informatics. However, this article shows that such a unification can be reached logically. To achieve the goal, the eternal Dao is told as the Being of revealing with a formal YinYang logic. It is illustrated with computer simulation that neural ensembles can form a causal network for cognition with information conservation. It is suggested that if the theory is confirmed, the search for mind-body unification will reach a major milestone on the eternal Dao toward a better understanding of the nature of human intelligence and mental health. This work leads to a number of predictions in science philosophy.
