A mathematical approach to cognitive processes.
A mathematical formalization of cognitive processes based on concepts previously given in Experientia is presented. Cognitive processes are described as a set of exponentially decaying interaction probabilities determined by previous interactions between different elements and an association parameter, the inverse of the cognitive stability. The interactions occur in a 'cognitive string' surrounded by a 'cognitive plasma' which carries the contextual information. The 'complexity' of a cognitive process is proportional to time.
