Quantum Interference in Social Decision-Making: A Quantum Cognition Model — E8 Intelligence Research
- 1Independent Researcher, United Kingdom
Abstract
FINDING: Quantum cognition models human decision-making under uncertainty and conflict using quantum probability amplitudes rather than classical Bayesian logic, with social interaction effects incorporated via quantum interference terms. | MATH: Quantum probability: P(A) = |⟨ ψ | P̂A | ψ ⟩|2, where P̂A is a projection operator; interference term: P(A lor B) = P(A) + P(B) + 2√(P(A)P(B))cos(δ), with δ the phase difference; social agents: density matrix formalism ρ → ∑i wi ρi with Lindblad-type evolution for interaction-induced decoherence (arXiv:1202.4918v2). | CONNECTION: The interference phase δ is not fixed by the sources; no explicit golden-ratio or base-60 constants appear in the cited abstracts. However, quantum interference amplitudes naturally produce oscillatory probability patterns — if δ = π/5 (36°) or π/3 (60°), the interference term yields ratios involving \(\cos(3
