In the next few paragraphs I am going to attempt to metaphorically describe the totality of a person’s psychology with math. Let’s call this totality “Psi”
Psi is the summation of all a person’s experience “points” (let’s call each “point” of experience “Ex.”).
So, Psi = Sum of all of Ex.
Each Ex is the product of the interaction between totality of brain activation (let’s call totality of brain activation at a given moment “B”) at a moment interacting with sensed incoming information (i.e., changes in environment sensed by a person, let’s call this E for sensed environmental change). “B” is equal to the sum of all inputs (with weights of inputs considered) into all neurons at a given moment.
So, B = Sum of all neuronal inputs (with weight considered for each input) to all neurons.
&
So, I = Sum of all E (all changes in the environment sensed by person)
So
So, B x I = Ex (at a specified point in time)
Note. Here “x” is treated as a general notation for “interaction” and “=” is roughly synonymous with produce or generate.
Each point of experience (Ex) is a product of the interaction between the sum of all neuronal inputs for all neurons (B) with the sum of all changes in the environment sensed by a person (I) at a specified moment in time. Each point of experience (Ex) serves as (B) in subsequent moments. Ex at time point 1 is B (totality of a person’s brain activation) at time point two. A person’s experience in a moment serves as the totality of brain activation for the next moment in an infinite stepwise fashion.
Changes in the environment are, 1st sensed. Sensed changes are input to a person’s psychological framework. The framework is composed of the summation of a person’s past points of experience. The summation of sensed changes from the environment is input that interacts with memory to produce internal and external responses. Internal responses are fed into the framework and external responses
In the diagram above the delta E (change in environment) is first sensed (by sense organ) and then fed into a person’s psychological framework (Denoted earlier as “Psi”). The psychological framework is the interaction of input (previously denoted as sum of sensed input or changes in the environment “E” and memory (previously denoted as totality of brain activation, “B”) generating RI (internal response within organism) and RE (external response on environment). RI is fed into the psychological “framework” while RE concatenates to or with the changes occurring in the environment for the next iteration (i.e., moment of experience)
So, E x B = Psi
And, Psi = RI and RE
The totality of a person’s psychology is, then, the sum of internal responding with the information detected or sensed in each moment.
