HOW THE FORM AND MATTER EXPLANATION OF ST THOMAS AQUINAS ADDS BETTER INSIGHTS TO THE NG BOSON IN QUANTUM BRAIN DYNAMICS

Form and Matter, two principles having their roots in ancient times as scholars past grappled with seeking to demystify the worlds mystery around them. One tough issue relating to form and matter was How can these two principles mediate a better understanding of the human person In our contemporary society, there seems to be a lack of consideration of the two principles. Why It is because they are considered obsolete in reference to scientific advancements of recent times. Nonetheless, we see these principles on display in many arenas of biological existence, such that they provide insightful depth to the consideration of biological life, whose understanding has been coloured by science and its experiments. The major consideration in this work will be the human person with respect to his power of cognition. We see with the dawn of Quantum Physics, that there are particular massless quanta that arise in the brain when symmetry is broken called the NG Bosons. These are the carriers of the information that are transmitted to the far-reaching ends of the brain, a principle referred to as long-range correlation. Does the Thomistic rendition of form and matter make better appreciated the insights of quantum physics on the brain under the auspices of quantum brain dynamics (QBD) Thus, we start by clarifying some terms, then we delve into the Thomistic elaboration of form and matter. This will enable us to situate ourselves within the scope of the terminus of this work, namely to indicate that Aquinas insights on form and matter are usefully valid for what pertains to QBD today.
