Hyper-Network Theory and Interdisciplinary Integration of Cognitive and Social Sciences

Abstract

The brain neuronetwork and social networks are structurally similar: both are composed of elements capable of performing simple functions and “weighing” their connections with neighboring elements. Both have the cognitive superstructures: cognitive brain modules and cognitive social networks. There is an interface between them, which is responsible for the dynamic interaction between the two networks. That is language. The ‘network paradigm’ has every reason to claim the role of the transdisciplinary methodology applied to the study of both consciousness and society.
