Schrodinger's cat and the problem of two cultures

Abstract

A mathematical model of the interaction mechanism for the intuitive-imaginative and heuristic-logical thinking responsible for the rift in the intellectual activity into two cultures has been suggested. The said model proceeds from the assumption that human thinking is based on the principles of the many-channel quantum-mechanical logic of the "both ... and" type surpassing the rigid confines of the "either ... or" type classical logic. The aggregate product of the person equally endowed in the said two-cultural space has been calculated. The interferential part of the latter achieves its maximum at the extreme values of such parameters as the inter-state exchange frequency and the difference of the states phases.
