ion in this direction.
This theory was created about 10 years ago. Based on my personal
experience, the theory is easily understood by persons with special
orientation on positive sciences, including children's over 12 years
old. Also, the persons who already work with symbolic models
(mathematicians, physicists, engineers and so on) have a high capacity
to understand it.
Let's see what MDT offers.
First of all, MDT treats the brain as a device which processes the
information. In this way, MDT has no direct connection with the
medicine. MDT is concerning only with the basic functions associated
with information processing and it is not interested by problems as
"what part of the brain is doing something" or "how a function is
implemented". MDT is a theory associated with the processing of the
information and so it has no direct interference with the physical
brain.
As a symbolic model associated with the basic function of the brain, it
generates precise definition, based on logic, of all the terms used in
association with the functions of the brain. In this way, all the terms
are logical correlated between them.
Examples: MDT generates normal definitions for: knowledge,
consciousness, to imagine, to think, intelligence, emotion, to be
irritate, love, happiness and many others. E.g. the "consciousness" is
the facility of a brain to make and operate a model which contains the
being itself as an element. MDT defines, than, 6 different types of
consciousness which are, of course, defined in the same precise way.
Even more, based on MDT, it is possible to design a logical structure to
implement the function called "consciousness".
MDT explains the basic functions of the brain up to the level to make a
logical design to synthesize all the brain's functions (human or
animal). Of course, a technological implementation of that functions is
not possible now because the computers, for example, have yet a very low
power to process the information and this situation will last, I think,
at least in the next 25 years.
In fact, the brain is treated by MDT as a technological product. So,
there are defined the main design goals and also, the main deficiencies
(by design or given by technological implementation).
There is analyzed the problem if, by evolution, it is possible or not to
evolve from animal brain to human brain.
There are analyzed the design and technological problems, includ
