From Micky Star
Your article about the workings of the human mind being more akin to quantum, rather than logical, computation echoes the juxtaposition of eastern and western schools of thought (3 September, p 34).
The ways of the west have their roots in rigid, solid, geometric forms, medieval scholars seeing these harmonic principles as the divine path to God.
The ways of the east could be seen as possessing a quantum element. For example, in Hinduism, the god Brahman was a multifaceted being whose existence simultaneously spanned multiple geo-temporal locations, a feat that quantum science is no stranger to.
