Quantum-like Architecture of the Social Atom: Mental Marker Coherence and the Triple-Resonance Mechanism of Cognitive Activation
Abstract
Social Laser Theory (SLT) provides a rigorous quantum-like mathematical formalism for modeling collective social activation. While its macroscopic effects mimic laser physics, the fundamental driver of the lasing regime resides in the internal state dynamics of the social atom. In this paper, we propose a quantum-like architecture for the individual cognitive system, formalizing the social atom as a composite quantum system where mental markers - spanning cognitive, affective, and valence dimensions - are represented as internal degrees of freedom in a complex Hilbert space. We show that social activation is not a classical linear response but is governed by a Triple-Resonance Mechanism: the simultaneous quantum-like matching of semantic topic, energetic impact, and valence stance between the agent's internal state and the informational field. We detail how the repeated processing of quantized informational units (infons) leads to a state of cognitive population inversion. We further establish a link to Human Entanglement Theory (HET), suggesting that the emergence of coherent informational fields is rooted in the phase alignment of these internal mental markers across a population. By situating SLT within the broader framework of Social Quantum Field Theory (SQFT), this paper provides a neuro-cognitive foundation for collective phenomena such as emotional contagion and rapid narrative amplification. Our results suggest that the Social Laser is a macroscopic manifestation of quantum-like effects across the human cognitive and neuro-social architecture.
