Al te veel moet je je er niet bij voorstellen, daarvoor te weinig uitgewerkt... relatief complexe theorie voor relatief eenvoudige studies.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Om dat 'bewustzijn'/humane ervaring te bestuderen zul je experimenteel onderzoek moeten doen naar de bouwstenen waaruit het systeem is opgebouwd.
En dat word nu niet gedaan?
Vanzelf kom je dan wel erachter dat ook daar chronologie zit (geen chronologie in tijd maar in structuur en patroonvorming.. chronologie in toestanden)
Als het zo vanzelf sprekend is dan zul je vast bronnen kunnen linken die jouw theorie kunnen ondersteunen.
Als je kritisch ingesteld bent ontkom je er niet aan dat de taal van de natuur begrijpen meer fundamentele waarde heeft dan de taal van de mens.
Komt er ergens naar voren in mijn posts waar ik het tegendeel zeg of dit onderwerp aanhaal?
> Ignoratio elenchi, also known as irrelevant conclusion, is the informal fallacy of presenting an argument that may or may not be logically valid, but fails nonetheless to address the issue in question.
> The phrase ignoratio elenchi is Latin meaning "an ignoring of a refutation".
De taal van de natuur is wiskundige waarbij je niet moet vergeten dat deze door mensen geïnterpreteerd word. Wetenschappelijke theorieën produceren wetenschappelijke feiten en deze zijn per definitie nooit 100% zeker. Zie Certainty, David Hume's problem of induction, en Science is not about certainty: A philosophy of physics - A Conversation with Carlo Rovelli
> scientific fact - an observation that has been confirmed repeatedly and is accepted as true (although its truth is never final)
Mooie zin in het stukje van Carlo Rovelli:
>"When I give a thesis to students, most of the time the problem I give for a thesis is not solved. It's not solved because the solution of the question, most of the time, is not solving in the question, it's just questioning the question itself."
Leren de docenten je hoe een dynamisch systeem zichzelf opbouwt en hoe het in evenwicht blijft of hoe je het kunt onderzoeken op expressie van bepaald gedrag/structuren en patronen?

Modern catastrophe theory is a mathematical theory that deals with discontinuous transitions in dynamic systems. Catastrophe theory is applied above all in physics, for example in connection with chaos theory, but also in biology, economics, linguistics and psychology.
Catastrophe theory describes how small, continuous changes in control parameters (i.e., independent variables that influence the state of a system) can have sudden, discontinuous effects on dependent variables. Such discontinuous, jump-like changes are called phase-transitions or catastrophes. Examples include the sudden collapse of a bridge under slowly mounting pressure, and the freezing of water when temperature is gradually decreased. Catastrophe theory was developed and popularized in the early 1970’s (Thom, 1975; Zeeman, 1977). After a period of criticism (Zahler & Sussmann, 1977) catastrophe theory is now well established and widely applied, for instance in the field of physics, (e.g., Aerts et al., 2003; Tamaki, Torii, & Meada, 2003), chemistry (e.g., Wales, 2001), biology (e.g., Torres, 2001; van Harten, 2000), and in the social sciences (e.g., Hołyst, Kacperski, & Schweitzer, 2000).
In psychology, catastrophe theory has been applied to multi-stable perception (Stewart & Peregoy, 1983), transitions between Piagetian stages of child development (van der Maas & Molenaar, 1992), the perception of apparent motion (Ploeger, van der Maas, & Hartelman, 2002), sudden transitions in attitudes (van der Maas, Kolstein, & van der Pligt, 2003), and motor learning (Newell, Liu, & Mayer-Kress, 2001; Wimmers, Savelsbergh, van der Kamp,
& Hartelman, 1998), to name just a few.
...
A key idea in catastrophe theory is that the system under study is driven toward an equilibrium state.
