Post-mortem existence within the complex systems self-organization theory framework and in traditional cultures
1 online resource (17 PDFs (328 pages)).
"Exploring ideas of post-mortem existence through the lenses of complex systems and traditional cultural perspectives offers a deeper understanding about life, death, and the existence beyond. Self-organization theory provides a framework for examining how cultural systems evolve and adapt new concepts of post-mortem states, where individual consciousness and collective memory continue to evolve. Traditional cultures provide diverse and deep-rooted views on the afterlife, often envisioning a continued existence, spiritual transformation, or idea perpetuated by moral beliefs. Further research on integrating these perspectives is necessary to gain a more nuanced approach to post-mortem existence understanding and appreciation for evolving systems and cultural constructs. Post-Mortem Existence Within the Complex Systems Self-Organization Theory Framework and in Traditional Cultures explores the ideals of post-mortem existences in traditional cultures using a complex systems self-organization theory framework. Religious structures and cultural responses to death are outlined while examining various models and scenarios. This book covers topics such as biology, philosophy, and anthropology, and is a useful resource for scientists, biologists, medical professionals, philosophers, anthropologists, academicians, and researchers."--
Preface -- Chapter 1. Self-Organization -- Chapter 2. Post-Mortem Models and Scenarios -- Death is seen as the destruction of an open emergent system. A model of dying that has been proposed is more accurate than that discussed in Chapter 10 by taking convolution into account. The presence of a more precise model made it.... Post-Mortem Models and Scenarios -- Chapter 3. Post-Mortem Scenarios Verification Method -- Chapter 4. Structures Checking -- The method of post-mortem scenario verification (Chapter 3) was applied to compare the structures of the sensory space with the structures of the human personality, reconstructed following the ideas of different eras about.... Structures Checking -- Chapter 5. Events Checking: What Old Artifacts and Middle Eastern Texts Can Tell -- Verification of the invariants -- events, and transitions -- predicted within the general and particular post-mortem scenarios (Chapter 2) showed their correspondence to data from sources of different cultures and eras. At the same.... Events Checking: What Old Artifacts and Middle Eastern Texts Can Tell -- Chapter 6.
