The State Context Property Formalism: From Concept Theory to the Semantics of Music Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Classical logical versus quantum conceptual thought: examples in economy, decision theory and concept theory. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Inspired by a quantum mechanical formalism to model concepts and their disjunctions and conjunctions, we put forward in this
paper a specific hypothesis. Namely that within human thought two superposed layers can be distinguished: (i) a layer guided by an underlying classical deterministic process, giving rise to essentially logical thought and its indeterministic version modeled by classical probability theory; (ii) a layer guided by ...

Quantum and Concept Combination, Entangled Measurements, and Prototype Theory Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We analyze the meaning of the violation of the marginal probability law for situations of correlation measurements where entanglement is identified. We show that for quantum theory applied to the cognitive realm such a violation does not lead to the type of problems commonly believed to occur in situations of quantum theory applied to the physical realm. We briefly situate our quantum approach for modeling concepts and their combinations with ...
A theoretical upgrade of the concept of parental psychological control: proposing new insights on the basis of self-determination theory Ghent University
Examining the role of (un)conscious determinants in online gambling : complementing the theory of planned behavior with the concept of habit Ghent University
Curbing domestic violence: instantiating C-K theory with formal concept analysis and emergent self organizing maps KU Leuven
In this paper we propose a human-centered process for knowledge discovery from unstructured text that makes use of Formal Concept Analysis and Emergent Self Organizing Maps. The knowledge discovery process is conceptualized and interpreted as successive iterations through the Concept-Knowledge (C-K) theory design square. To illustrate its effectiveness, we report on a real-life case study of using the process at the Amsterdam-Amstelland police ...
An iterative requirements engineering framework based on Formal Concept Analysis and C–K theory KU Leuven
In this paper, we propose an expert system for iterative requirements engineering using Formal Concept Analysis. The requirements engineering approach is grounded in the theoretical framework of C–K theory. An essential result of this approach is that we obtain normalized class models. Compared to traditional UML class models, these normalized models are free of ambiguities such as many-to-many, optional-to-optional or reflexive associations ...
The New Creatures of Difference: A Look at the Concept of Repetition Within Dissipative Systems Theory Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This essay also draws from inquiries in epistemology, systems theory, and evolutionary biology to examine the concept of repetition as a creature of difference. Here, repetition recasts traditional concepts of difference, identity, and change. Thus it should be no surprise that the work of Gilles Deleuze is a key reference. French philosopher Gilles Deleuze had perhaps gone furthest in endowing the problem of repetition with a measure of the ...
