Abstract
In this article, we are focusing on metaphor of mental states examining hidden dimension of the human mind and its interaction with a world. Our natural language research methodology were included constructing a database of metaphorical stimuli, randomly presenting these to participants, and tabulating FAE responses both by participant and by the stimulus, analyzed by frequency of semantic type. The project aimed to produce a new model of knowledge representation. Acquired data suggest that mind’s metaphoric self-reflection semantics closely correlate with entangled quantum particles and light binding phenomena. Created semantic network gave us a unique opportunity to visualize the probabilistic picture of mind itself within an interdisciplinary approach of cognitive and computational networking studies.
