Abstract

In almost every sense of the word, serial and parallel operations are thought of as incompatible opposites. It is also commonly assumed that the mind is based on operations that are sequential in nature, while the brain is a parallel distributed system, which introduces a major stumbling block when the chapter approaches the brain-mind as an integral whole. Are the serial and the parallel necessarily mutually exclusive? Because the brain is a parallel system while the mind is a serial one, the fundamental question arises of explaining this parallel serial paradigm. The purpose of the chapter is to highlight that in matrix logic, the automatic division into parallel and serial operations, to which one has grown accustomed under the influence of computer science, can be replaced by parallel-serial duality, where parallel and serial are not competing and mutually exclusive modes of operations, but inclusive components of the whole. This approach is closely linked with the field of quantum physics.
