Concentric and Diametric Spatial Structures of Relation: Exploring a Neutral Bridge Language between Quantum Physics and Neuropsychology
Paul Downes
Abstract
Pauli (1949) postulated a neutral bridge language between the physical and psychological world but left this idea
underdeveloped. This article proposes a candidate neutral bridge language between quantum physics and
neuropsychology in terms of specific contrasting spaces, concentric and diametric spaces. Concentric and
diametric spaces are explored in terms of symmetry, assumed connection and separation, as well as relatively
open and closed systems of foreground-background interaction. Structural commonalities are highlighted
between these concentric and diametric spaces and aspects of quantum physics, such as Pauli’s Exclusion Principle
and antiparticles, as well as in neuropsychology, for mirror neurons. Such structural commonalities are not to
reduce this proposed spatial-phenomenological bridge language to either the quantum physical or
neuropsychological level.
