Abstract
Problems in quantum mechanics are analyzed; this analysis demonstrates
that their solution lies beyond the current scientific paradigm, which utilizes an objectbased description in a space-time representation. A variant allowing for resolution of
the existing contradictions is proposed, which implies a reconsideration of the
fundamental principles for reality modeling.

Abstract
The current views of the neuropsychological organization of the brain are
briefly reviewed based on the systemic description by A.R. Luria, one of the founders
of neuropsychology. The ability of the brain, i.e., to represent reality in a spacetime
manner and to construct objects of a totality of elementary sensations, has been
analyzed. Extrasensory perception abilities of the brain as well as the potential
involvement of brain structures in quantum interactions have been discussed.

Abstract
Psychosemantics studies the genesis, structure, and functioning of an
individual or collective consciousness and its major element, the meaning. The last can
be fixed in the words of a natural language as well as signs, symbols, pictures, and so
on in their meaning invariant to different individuals of the same culture in a socially
scaled sense. To have a chance to compare sensations and to simulate (represent) the
surrounding reality, an individual needs to “construct” a certain semantic space (mental
map of reality) and define metric and system of coordinates. Definition of semantic
spaces is the mathematical method to construct a mental map as a system that simulates
an “objective reality” in terms of mathematical structures (arbitrary sets with the
relations defined on them)
An Object-Based Model in Physics

Abstract
A topological model of the object-based space is represented as a bundle
allowing for a complete description of an object by specifying the intensity and rigidity
of its properties, and the object itself is represented as a resultant vector. As a case
study, an object-based space is constructed that makes it possible to obtain the relations
of the special theory of relativity as the conservation laws of informational content
without using the hypothesis on the existence of space and time.
Delayed-Choice Quantum Eraser in a Space-time Description

Abstract
Analysis of the quantum physics experiments relying on the object-based
concepts in space-time terms leads to irresolvable paradoxes. These paradoxes can be
resolved by accepting that the wave function collapse, similar to time, matches the
object-based model in consciousness that describes the result of observation and,
moreover, the understanding of this means that the fact is fixed in the mental map.
Coupling of the Models of Quantum and Classical Realities

Abstract
The work by P. Florensky on the extension of geometry from the real region
to a complex one under the metaphor of two non-overlapping worlds, real and
imaginary, is successively analyzed. Assuming that consciousness functions in terms of
a spacetime object-based concept, which actually corresponds to “classical reality”, it is
possible to hypothesize that the unconscious is related to the space of states and
corresponds to a quantum description from a physical standpoint.
Purposeful Systems, Evolution, and Subject-Based Aspect of Systems Science

Abstract
In systems science, the category of goal is restored in its rights. However, the current studies are mainly confined to closed systems and are of an object-based character although the teleological principle, defining a system, is inapplicable to the object. The issues associated with the possibility of the subject to be included in systems analysis are discussed as well as the approaches to the research into evolutionary processes in open systems. In addition to this, the problems in a subjectbased approach in psychosemantics and quantum physics are considered.
Consciousness and Reality in the Oriental Tradition

Abstract
Two types of reality representations are possible-spacetime, describing
reality as processes, which may be referred to as “object-based” and corresponds to our
unconscious perception, and “subject-based”, which is associated with the integral
time-independent experience inseparable into objects. The latter forms the foundation
for oriental philosophy and is attainable using various psychotechniques. As has
emerged, the description of different quantum states in physics requires an analogous
approach and this congruence has been mentioned by many outstanding scientists.

Introduction
The book presents a multidisciplinary analysis of the context of quantum physics experiments and the function of the human mind that makes it possible to demonstrate that an object-based model of reality formed at the level of the unconscious is the basis of our worldview. The consciousness experiences a ''time flow'' because of the specific features of perception in the form of a model with a sequential fixation of events. Together with the need to relate objects in terms of the model, this generates a space-time representation of the world around us. Acceptance of a mental character of our construct of reality allows for resolution of the problems in quantum physics and its paradoxes, thereby opening the way to an insight into reality. The presented material is organized in a specific order to facilitate the reader's understanding. First, the fact that if there are no objects in the area of quantum mechanics, then they belong to the corresponding model rather than the reality is proved by case studies of the most discussed and relevant paradoxes of quantum physics. The authors consider a topological variant in constructing an object-based space that describes the physical properties of an object that are the most verified in science and describable with mathematical relations. The functionality of the proposed construct is tested by deriving the ''laws'' of conservation of energy and momentum in a relativistic form. The book is oriented towards experts in physics and psychology, advanced students, and readers interested in state-of-the-art science and the philosophy connected to it.
