Abstract Scientific investigations in the past decades have revealed that the brain’s electric activities correlate with the phenomenology of consciousness. Thus, cognitive science increasingly utilizes physical principles for its analyses. Recently, the Fermionic Mind Hypothesis (FMH) was suggested to explain the hard problem of consciousness. Quantum cognition has considered quantum theory for modeling cognitive phenomena such as memory, language, decision-making, and social interaction for decades. String theory can explain social comparisons and the aptitude for proportionality. The evoked cycle represents an energy-information cycle between the cortex and the limbic brain that is built on the brain’s resting state. Because gravity operates via pressure, time perception informs motivation via emotions. Sensory information, which reflects spatial relationships, is transformed into temporal relationships of memories and decisions. Positive emotions represent an endothermic cycle, which orients toward the future. Negative emotions correspond to information overload; the exothermic process imposes a high energy need on the brain. The energetic consequences of emotions might explain the evolution of intellect as well as mental disease. Keywords Consciousness . Emotional regulation . Fermionic mind hypothesis .

Introduction Scientific considerations of the brain’s operation regarding conscious experiences are often based on the electromagnetic activity of neuronal assemblies. What was the purpose of the evolution of the human brain? The global neuronal workspace theory (Baars 2002), integrated information theory (Weiss 2006), multiple drafts theory (Dennett 1991), and entropic effects theory (Mateos et al. 2018) can account for many aspects of brain processing. Nevertheless, they cannot explain how the neurological and electromagnetic patterns of the brain produce the varied characteristics of consciousness. Particularly problematic is the hard problem, which questions qualia and emotional experiences (Dennett 2018). An experimentally testable physical model would transform psychology into a “hard science” (Perlovsky 2016). The resting state is the ground state of consciousness. Stimulus triggers the evoked cycle. Because experience informs perception, even scarce information reliably produces a meaningful cognition. Recently, it has been shown that near-

orthogonality of large dimensional random vectors can produce holographic projection (Makey et al. 2018, 2019). The brain’s temporal projection of spatial relationships is an orthogonal transformation; it engenders a predictive mental world that can anticipate environmental changes, signaling that the mind might be a holographic projection. The mind is part of the physical environment; therefore, it
