this way, as my theory will be accepted, all what
it was already written in the actual sciences associated with the
functions of the brain, have to be re-written or forgotten.
This attempt of total revolution is necessary because the actual
sciences on the brain don't use normal definitions of the terms. There
are only descriptions associated with them.
In psychology, for instance, about any scientist has his/her own list of
descriptive definition associated with the terms used by him/her. In
this way, it is not possible to make a logical structure to integrate
all the terms used in that field. So, the psychology, for instance, is
not a positive science.
Example:
Let's consider a classical positive science, as Newton's Mechanics is.
In this symbolic model, all terms have exactly the same definition for
all the scientists. These definition are not changed since 340 years ago
when they were generated by the symbolic model of Mechanics. For
instance, the term "speed" is defined as v=s/t. That is, "speed" means
that the "space" is divided by "time". This definition is a normal
definition generated by the symbolic model of Mechanics and so, that
term is not introduced by description.
Let's suppose now that a symbolic model associated with the basic
hardware function of the brain is already created or it will be created.
The first consequence is that all the terms used in association with the
functions of the brain will be generated by the model by logical and
mathematical procedures, together with their normal definitions. There
is no reason to suppose that any descriptive definition which is already
used in the present sciences of the brain will be compatible with the
definitions generated by that symbolic model.
So, all what is already created in the present sciences associated with
the brain has to be re-written or forgotten.
Regardless of the fact that MDT theory will be accepted or not, a
symbolic model which covers the basic hardware function of the brain
will produce this total revolution in all the sciences associated with
the brain, including psychology, psychiatry, gnoseology, epistemology,
many parts of social sciences.
Let's consider that a symbolic model to cover the basic functions of the
brain is created and is accepted. The persons who already work in these
fields have to re-start everything about from zero. Their opposition
will be enormous and I have no illus
