The Physics of the Mind

The Physics of the Mind explores the intersection of physics principles and cognitive science - how directed attention and intentional focus create measurable changes in learning, performance, and decision-making.

Core Concepts

• Attention as a Force - treating cognitive focus as a measurable, directed input with predictable outcomes
• Cognitive Momentum - how sustained attention compounds into skill and insight over time
• The Observer Effect in Learning - what changes when we pay attention, and what we miss when we don't
• Energy and Entropy in Thinking - why unfocused effort dissipates and focused effort builds

Connection to Other Research

This work directly informs the Attention and Intention Framework and provides the theoretical foundation for the learning protocols in Far Transfer.

Background

Developed from Dr. Bullock's research at the intersection of pharmacy education, adult learning theory, and cognitive science. Draws on real-world observations of how professionals learn, adapt, and perform under conditions of directed versus undirected attention.
