COMMENTARY ON: Stapp, H. P. (1995) Why Classical Mechanics Cannot Naturally Accommodate Consciousness but Quantum Mechanics Can. PSYCHE, 2(5) ABSTRACT: I argue that the logical difference between classical and quantum mechanics that Stapp (1995) claims shows quantum mechanics is more amenable to an account of consciousness than is classical mechanics is irrelevant to the problem. 1. Introduction 1.1 Henry Stapp (1995) argues that "classical mechanics is not constitutionally suited to accommodate consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics is" (abstract). This, he asserts, is because of "certain logical deficiencies" that are not present in quantum mechanics (1.3). The ground advanced for this claim is that classical mechanics holds that a "physical system is to be conceived of as fundamentally a conglomerate of simple microscopic elements each of which interacts only with its immediate neighbors" (2.12). In particular, a classical description of a system will include a description of field values at points in the system, but these descriptions record only what is going on at each of the points, and not features of the system as a whole. Stapp adds, "One may, of course

The Development of Mechanics How did we arrive at the point of scientific theory where we come to understand the way in which matter interacts in terms of what is known as Quantum Mechanics? How does this field stand on the shoulders of what is known as Classical Mechanics? When did we start to apply the language of mathematics to the study of matter? A number of important characters have crossed the stage of science during the past several centuries and a brief look at their history helps us to understand from where the present state of mechanics arose. Here is a list of some of the people we will look at.

26. Matter & Energy classical mechanics Although Nature. The first physical laws dealt with motion, which we call classical mechanics. Aristotle http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~js/ast122/lectures/lec03.html

Classical Mechanics Although the ancient astronomers could determine the positions and brightness of stars, they had no understanding of what stars were. This is because they lacked a framework of physics in which to understand how stars worked. They lacked what we call today modern physics. Physics includes a wide variety of fields that are used to understand the origin and evolution of stars, mechanics, thermodynamics, light, matter, energy and the forces of Nature. The first physical laws dealt with motion, which we call classical mechanics. Aristotle In the center of the `School of Athens' by Raphael are Aristotle and Plato, Aristotle's hand level to the Earth symbolizing his realism view of Nature; Plato's hand pointed towards the heaven symbolizing the mystical nature to his view of the Universe. This image symbols the sharp change in the meaning of how `natural philosophy' or physics will be done for the 2,200 years. Aristotle stands in the Greek philosophical tradition which asserts that nature is understandable. This tradition, opposed to the idea that nature is under the control of capricious deities which are to be appeased rather than understood, is one of the roots of science. Aristotle constructed his view of the Universe based on a intuitive felling of holistic harmony. Central to this philosophy was the concept of teleology or final causation. He supposed that individual objects (e.g. a falling rock) and systems (e.g. the motion of the planets) subordinate their behavior to an overall plan or destiny. This was especially apparent in living systems where the component parts function in a cooperative way to achieve a final purpose or end product.

Back to Contents! Next: Completing the Circle Up: CONSERVING EQUATIONS Previous: Second-order diff Chaotic Systems The word chaos has both a general meaning and a scientific meaning. As is usually the case, the general meaning tends to convey little of the strict definition that scientists and mathematicians apply to the word. In the American Heritage Dictionary (Note: you can also access the Oxford English dictionary online if the "American Heritage Dictionary" above refuses you access), we find that chaos is described as noun. 1. A condition or place of total disorder or confusion: ``emotions in complete chaos.'' 2. Often [Chaos]. The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed by some religious cosmological views to have existed prior to the ordered universe. 3. (Obsolete). A vast abyss or chasm. What scientists and mathematicians mean by chaos is very much related to the spirit of the definitions given above. We state that systems are chaotic if they: are deterministic through description by mathematical rules.

34. New Foundations For Classical Mechanics New Foundations for classical mechanics. David Hestenes. To order this book from Kluwer see New Foundations for classical mechanics, 2nd Ed. http://modelingnts.la.asu.edu/html/NFCM.html

New Foundations for Classical Mechanics David Hestenes (second edition, 1999). [To order this book from Kluwer see New Foundations for Classical Mechanics, 2nd Ed] This book provides an introduction to geometric algebra as a unified language for physics and mathematics. It contains extensive applications to classical mechanics in a textbook format suitable for courses at an intermediate level. The text is supported by more than 200 diagrams to help develop geometrical and physical intuition. Besides covering the standard material for a course on the mechanics of particles and rigid bodies, the book introduces new, coordinate-free methods for rotational dynamics and orbital mechanics , developing these subjects to a level well beyond that of other textbooks. These methods have been widely applied in recent years to biomechanics and robotics, to computer vision and geometric design, to orbital mechanics in governmental and industrial space programs, as well as to other branches of physics. The book applies them to the major perturbations in the solar system, including the planetary perturbations of Mercury's perihelion. Geometric algebra integrates conventional vector algebra (along with its established notations) into a system with all the advantages of quaternions and spinors. Thus, it increases the power of the mathematical language of classical mechanics while bringing it closer to the language of quantum mechanics. This book systematically develops purely mathematical applications of geometric algebra useful in physics, including extensive applications to linear algebra and transformation groups. It contains sufficient material for a course on mathematical topics alone.

Next: mks units Up: Introduction Previous: Introduction What is classical mechanics? Classical mechanics is the study of the motion of bodies (including the special case in which bodies remain at rest), in accordance with the general principles first enunciated by Sir Isaac Newton in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687), commonly known as the Principia . Classical mechanics was the first branch of Physics to be discovered, and is the foundation upon which all other branches of Physics are built. Moreover, classical mechanics has many important applications in other areas of science, such as Astronomy ( e.g. , celestial mechanics), Chemistry ( e.g. , the dynamics of molecular collisions), Geology ( e.g. , the propagation of sound waves, generated by earthquakes, through the Earth's crust), and Engineering ( e.g. , the equilibrium and stability of structures). Classical mechanics is also of great significance outside the realm of science. After all, the sequence of events leading to the discovery of classical mechanicsstarting with the ground-breaking work of Copernicus, continuing with the researches of Galileo, Kepler, and Descartes, and culminating in the monumental achievements of Newtoninvolved the complete overthrow of the Aristotelian picture of the Universe, which had previously prevailed for more than a millennium, and its replacement by a recognizably modern picture in which humankind no longer played a privileged role. In our investigation of classical mechanics we shall study many different types of motion, including:

Classical Mechanics John R. Taylor University of Colorado Forthcoming in August 2004! "A superb text. The clarity and readability of the book is so much better than anything else on the market, that I confidently predict this book will soon be the most widely used book on the subject in all American universities, and probably Canadian and European universities also. I judge it to be at least ten times better, maybe more, than the other two popular classical mechanics books on the market right now, the book by Fowles, which students say is too terse to understand, and the book by Marion and Thornton, which students say is so wordy and lengthy that they feel quickly lost." -American Journal of Physics, April 2004 "The book is excellent. The core of a truly superb mechanics course is covered in Taylor's text. I, personally, want this book now ." Robert Pompi, State University of New York, Binghamton "Taylor's book is unique among classical mechanics texts. It comprehensively covers the field at the Sophomore/Junior level. At the same time, it is immensely readable, a quality that comparable texts lack." Jonathan Friedman, Amherst College "Many of my students thought that Taylor's
