Abstract
Information systems, which include computers and the Ψ-organ, can be described on the one hand from the point of view of physics or neurology and on the other hand from the point of view of information science. In this context, psychoanalysis is seen as part of information science. Mealy developed a method to bring all these descriptive principles together in a single, unified model. This led to the SiMA project (Simulation of the Mental Apparatus and Applications) in 1999, from which the extended Mealy theory and finally the Ψ-Organ emerged.
