“…We do not assume this for an arbitrary context C. Contexts are elements of physical reality which exist independently of observers. By using the terminology of Atmanspacher and Primas (32) we can say that context belong to the ontic level of description of physical reality and preparation procedure to the epistemic level.…”

We presented a contextual statistical model of the probabilistic description of physical reality. Here contexts (complexes of physical conditions) are considered as basic elements of reality. There is discussed the relation with QM. We propose a realistic analogue of Bohr's principle of complementarity. In the opposite to the Bohr's principle, our principle has no direct relation with mutual exclusivity for observables. To distinguish our principle from the Bohr's principle and to give better characterization, we change the terminology and speak about supplementarity, instead of complementarity. Supplementarity is based on the interference of probabilities. It has quantitative expression trough a coefficient which can be easily calculated from experimental statistical data. We need not appeal to the Hilbert space formalism and noncommutativity of operators representing observables. Moreover, in our model there exists pairs of supplementary observables which cannot be represented in the complex Hilbert space. There are discussed applications of the principle of supplementarity outside quantum physics.

“…Some have used the formal structure of quantum mechanics, which presupposes a conscious observer to work formally, to make consciousness primary altogether [43,45,[50][51][52][53][54]. On this basis, they reinforce what, in the history of philosophy, has been termed idealism.…”

Mind-Body Practices in Integrative Medicine

et al. 2012

Mind-Body practices have become increasingly popular as components of psychotherapeutic and behavior medicine interventions. They comprise an array of different methods and techniques that use some sort of mental-behavioral training and involve the modulation of states of consciousness in order to influence bodily processes towards greater health, well-being and better functioning. Mind-body practices may thus be interpreted as the salutogenetic mirror image of psychosomatic medicine, where psychophysiological and health consequences of specific psychological states are studied, such as stress arousal, psychological trauma or depression. This contribution examines the empirical evidence of the most common mind-body techniques with regard to their salutogenetic potential. We concisely discuss some aspects of the mind-body problem, before we consider some historical aspects and achievements of psychosomatic medicine. We then turn to some prominent mind-body practices and their application, as well as the empirical database for them.

“…We do not have intuitive images of electrons and photons but we have the abstract mathematical model given by QT able to describe quantitatively various phenomena they are participating in. The importance of the interplay of ontic and epistemic realities in QT was recently discussed in some detail by Atmaspacher and Primas [37] and Emch [38].…”

only with a specific protocol telling how the random experiment has to be performed. The probabilistic model used to prove BI implied a protocol completely inappropriate and impossible to implement for SPCE . Therefore we conclude that the important question whether QT is predictably complete is still open and we show how the unconventional analysis of the existing data could help to answer it. The correct understanding of statistical and contextual character of QT is essential for the research in the domain of quantum information and quantum computing.
