Describing Shen & Shen Ming Via a Hybrid Quantum Computational Model
Full text linkDefinitions for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) terminology within the context of quantum biology (QB) have recently been proposed. These definitions aim to elucidate concepts such as qi meridians in TCM. Our study presents a hypothesis that seeks to provide an operational definition for Spirit (Shen) and Bright Spirit (Shen Ming) in TCM via a scoping review. We propose that Shen represents physical, phenomenological proto-consciousness/consciousness in the forms of computation, such as singular particles/bits/qubits, computers, organisms, or computational strategies, whereas Shen Ming may refer to emergent, quasi-physical meta-proto-consciousness/consciousness formed by coherent relationships of multiple orchestrated/integrated units of computation; manifesting itself as integrations of multiple bits, qubits, computers, organisms, or strategies. We posit that multi-computational strategies are likely utilized within QB systems, which we operationally define as hybrid quantum computation (HQC). The primary objective of this scoping review is to comprehensively discuss a hypothetical structure of HQC in QB systems, thereby offering a validation of TCM terms such as Shen and Shen Ming from several ontological perspectives. Additionally, our research hypothesizes that aspects of Shen and Shen Ming could be partially characterized by Fault Tolerant Topological Quantum Computation (FTTQC) in QB systems, which involves the utilization of exotic particles known as anyons
On the Psychological Significance of Heart Governing Shen Ming
No full textAccording to the Huangdi Neijing, Suwen Chapter 8, the heart is the ruler of the body and the host for spirit brightness (shen ming). The paper examines the meaning and contribution of the heart with spirit brightness (xin zhu shen ming) to Chinese medical thinking. From earliest times, Chinese medicineâs analysis of health and illness included the physical, sensory, emotional, social and cognitive aspects of the personâs lived experience. The shen-mind with ming-brightness was said to radiate peace, virtue, clarity and intelligence, and the cultivation of shenming was thought to enhance oneâs physical health and longevity. In Part One, we discuss the conditions that influence the development of shenming and the maturation of mental-emotional intelligence. In Part Two we discuss its opposite, the heart without spirit brightness (xin zhu bu ming) to identify its mechanisms and the consequences for health. Xin zhu bu ming leads to the distortion of sensory perceptions and emotional responses, and refers to a person with mental-emotional instability and poor adaptive ability. Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism identify the influences affecting shenming-spirit brightness and explain the connections between ethical conduct, correct qi, and mind-body health. Mental-emotional development and the cultivation of shenming is discussed and contrasted with the social consequences and clinical manifestations of human mentality without spirit brightness

Temperature effect on dynamic properties of magnetorheological elastomers
No full textMagnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are typically comprised of magnetic particles and non-magnetic matrix. Their mechanical properties are dependent on many factors, among which temperature is very important yet lack of understanding due to limited studies. In this paper, experimental study has been carried out to characterise the dynamic properties of MREs under different temperature and magnetic fields. By using the obtained experimental data, the viscoelastic model for rheological properties of MREs is presented based on the generalized Maxwell model and fractional Maxwell model. The experimental results show that temperature has an important influence on the dynamic modulus of MREs made from silicone rubber embedded with iron particles subjected to uniaxial compression. It is found that there is a transition behavior of MREs at about 50℃ for dynamic modulus, i.e. below which the storage modulus of MRE is first decreases with the increasing of temperature up to 50℃ and then increases with the temperature increased
