Modelling of psychological behavior on the basis of ultrametric mental space: encoding of categories by balls. (English) Zbl 1260.91221
Summary: In this paper we present a model of processing of mental information based on encoding by points of ultrametric space. Basic mental entities categories are encoded by ultrametric balls. Our model describes processes which take place in subconsciousness. It seems that ultrametric is a right tool for modeling of unconscious mental processes. Properties of ultrametric balls match well properties of unconscious representation of information which have been discussed in psychology.
