Reframing the Mind-Body Picture: Applying Formal Systems to the Relationship of Mind and Matter [PDF]
This paper aims to show that a simple framework, utilizing basic formalisms from set theory and category theory, can clarify and inform our theories of the relation between mind and matter.

If You\u27re Happy and You Know It: Concentrate! [PDF]
The phenomenon of mind wandering involves a situation in which a person\u27s executive control switches from the current task to unrelated thoughts (Smallwood & Schooler, 2006). Previous research has indicated that individuals mind wander more often when

Mutations of simple-minded systems in Calabi-Yau categories generated by a spherical object [PDF]
In this article, we give a definition and a classification of 'higher' simple-minded systems in triangulated categories generated by spherical objects with negative Calabi-Yau dimension. We also study mutations of this class of objects and that of 'higher' Hom-configurations and Riedtmann configurations.

An Empirical Test of a Postulate of a Mediating\ud Process between Mind Processes [PDF]
The objective of the research was to verify a\ud postulate of a theory of mind processes. The\ud postulate stated that the mediating process of the\ud mind processes comprises of diffusion, absorption,\ud and assimilation through bursts of information ...

AutoToM: Automated Bayesian Inverse Planning and Model Discovery for Open-ended Theory of Mind [PDF]
Theory of Mind (ToM), the ability to understand people's mental variables based on their behavior, is key to developing socially intelligent agents. Current approaches to Theory of Mind reasoning either rely on prompting Large Language Models (LLMs), which are prone to systematic errors, or use rigid, handcrafted Bayesian Theory of Mind (BToM) models ...

On the Work of Henry P. Stapp [PDF]
For many years, Henry Stapp and I have been working separately and independently on mind-centered interpretations of quantum theory. In this review, I discuss his work and contrast it with my own. There is much that we agree on, both in the broad problems we have addressed and in some of the specific details of our analyses of neural physics, but ...

The relation between language and theory of mind in development and evolution [PDF]
Considering the close relation between language and theory of mind in development and their tight connection in social behavior, it is no big leap to claim that the two capacities have been related in evolution as well.

Position: Theory of Mind Benchmarks are Broken for Large Language Models [PDF]
This position paper argues that the majority of theory of mind benchmarks are broken because of their inability to directly test how large language models (LLMs) adapt to new partners. This problem stems from the fact that theory of mind benchmarks for LLMs are overwhelmingly inspired by the methods used to test theory of mind in humans and fall victim
