Juniper Publishers- Systems-bound and Systems-independent Consciousness Complex Inter-phase in between: From Narrative to Science

Systems-bound and Systems-independent Consciousness Complex Inter-phase in between From Narrative to Science    

Authored by A K Mukhopadhyay
Consciousness is at the core of behavior and psychology. However, the idea and concept of consciousness is so variable across the cultures that it is difficult to bring consciousness within the purview of science. For the East, consciousness is homogenous, universal and present both within and outside the systems. In the context of systems-independent consciousness, there is use of terms like cosmic consciousness, nature-consciousness, universal consciousness, trans-universal consciousness, non-dual consciousness etc. For the western science, consciousness is heterogeneous, granular and confined to the live-systems like biological cell (c.f., cellular cognition) and all multicellular organisms including us. Consciousness not confined to any systems is difficult to study in science. Two systems, which can be studied in the context of consciousness, are biological cell and systems brain. Systems biology is said to consist of metabolome, proteome, genome and epigenome. In the live systems, biochemistry, biophysics and bioinformatics have been brought within the ambit of systems science but not the psychology and consciousness. One of the objectives of this paper is to bring consciousness and psychology within the purview of systems science in systematic connection with systems bioinformatics. Having accepted both eastern and western view on consciousness it becomes imperative to describe the inter-phase, which is juxtaposed between systems-bound and systems-independent consciousness. This is second objective of this conceptual theoretical paper. In this paper we are on the way to construct a model, which would accomplish both the stated objectives.

Psychology of the Prisoner-of-War Authored by Sinan Çaya Prisoners of war undergo hard times in collective camps, where life conditions are harsh and the mood is depressing. To cope with such circumstances is difficult and the term served is frustrating. Based on available evidence; it is sheer solidarity and esprit de corps which enables a captive to maintain his mental hygiene. Preserving the hierarchy among themselves made the situation of the Turkish prisoners in Corean War (1950-1953) emerge as a really admirable phenomenon. Being enslaved means waging a war of nerves. The biggest weapon of a prisoner of war (Gefangene) is his Patience (a) along with his high morale and flourishing hope. He should be committed to the unwavering belief that someday, salvation is bound to come. There are slaves who had achieved this process and attained freedom. Famous Ottoman mariner Dragut got busted in the island of Corsica while taking some respite with his tiny navy. He got enslaved
