“…In particular it is known that Hopfield Neural Networks show spontaneous transitions from the metric to the ultrametric regime when the storage capacity limit of the memory system is exceeded. What it not known, however, is how to devise a neural dynamics exhibiting metric properties at the global level while conforming to an ultrametric organization at the local level, such as would be relevant in order to model many different phenomena in psycho-analysis and the related aspects in computational psycho-analysis (Lauro Grotto, 2008;Iurato, 2014).…”

In the last decades in the domain of cognitive sciences benefitted from the integration of contributions coming from different disciplines, such as neurosciences, cognitive neuropsychology, I.T., linguistics and so on. The functional architectures approach, either implemented with hard or soft computation, or with mixed models, has been a relevant conceptual tool that has provided a unifying framework for many research attempts in the field. The advancement of new conceptualizations based on embodied cognition, the research paradigm emerging from the discovery of mirroring systems in the animal and human brain, is questioning this unitary approach. In fact, mirroring systems seems to provide an explanation for human behaviour that cannot be easily reduced to a computational description. Here then author will present and discuss some formal approaches to the psychoanalytic theory, which could favour a better integration of disembodied and embodied cognition. These models are based on a topological implementation of the classical Freudian Conscious/Unconscious distinctions and on the theory of Bi-Logic mental functioning proposed by Matte Blanco.

We mention the main foundations and elements of philosophy of sciences to have a rough yet quite complete view of the epistemological framework in which to lay out our discussion on the possible formalizations attempts of psychoanalysis. In particular, we have highlighted the possible relations between exact/natural sciences and humanities, with a special emphasis on those intertwinements already established between humanities and informatics. We have however chosen to assume a new epistemological stance mainly based on a structuralistic view coming from Claude Lévi-Strauss' pioneering work, which, as reconsidered by the French school of psychoanalysis (above all, Jacques Lacan and Jean Laplanche), has led to identify a universally shared logical structure, irreducible per se, which basically rules human thought; this is the phallic logic (or Ur-logic).

After having briefly but exhaustively recalled the main lines of Freudian psychoanalytic thought, we have discussed a possible psychoanalytic theoretical model for human symbolic function mainly centred on the action of a set of primary psychic mechanisms rejoined around the negative, in its widest sense according to the works of André Green. A chief aspect of this pattern has turned out to be an underlying, irreducible dialecticity that reflects on the one hand, the typical feature of human symbolic function, and, on the other hand, the main outcome of the unavoidable presence of a basic dichotomy formalized the so-called phallic logic, that is, that primordial, ancestral and irreducible logical nucleus inevitably present in the deepest meanders of human psyche as an inborn structure phylogenetically preformed and ontogenetically re-established during the psychic evolution of any human being.
