Clinical Holistic Medicine: Tools for a Medical Science Based on Consciousness by Søren Ventegodt, Mohammed Morad, Niels Jorgen Andersen, Joav Merrick

“…Thus, consciousness-based medicine is based on the whole individual, while biomedicine is based on its smallest parts, the molecules. These two completely different points of departure make the two forms of medicine very different; they represent two different mind sets and two different frames of reference or medical paradigms. …”

Type-dependent stochastic Ising model describing the dynamics of a non-symmetric feedback module by Manuel González-Navarrete

“…We consider a mean-field dynamics for a type-dependent Ising model, and then study the empirical-magnetization vector representing concentration of molecules. We apply a convergence result from stochastic jump processes to deterministic trajectories and present a bifurcation analysis for the associated dynamical system. …”
