Calculus of mind.

I have been fascinated by math equations for a second time in life. I used to love it as it stretched my brain capacity to the maximum as a teenager. Then the life happened and I had neither time nor the peace to tackle with brain teasing calculus. I never learned the calculus, so as I had a limited free time I thought I would give it a go again. Apart from Robert frost poems, and Ganong physiology I think Stewart's calculus is a best of its craft. Boy, Calculus is hard to self-study. So, I would guess a novel by Shakespear. But, this time around I have a little help called ChatGPT, which gives great explanations which suit my level of understanding. It is perfect getaway when I am stuck, and the other thing came to my mind is MINDFULNESS.

calculus

I am not going to discuss double integrals or partial derivatives, or any of the math stuff. But obviously I would tell you that calculus is at the heart of the modern understanding of the nature. If you study any subject to a reasonable advanced level, I am sure you will come across some models, and equations of functions, which fundamentally derived and modeled by using calculus. The reason behind this is the calculus is the study of change. If you read my previous article which I wrote about understanding time, in 2023, I wrote about infinite observations of a person can make on a falling leaf, if given enough time to comprehend. What I did not know at that time was calculus. And as calculus puts the framework to understanding such infinite possibilities of the changing world I would say you will come across it whenever there is a change needs to be described. Where do you think these changes occur?

In fact, the question we should be asking ourselves is where does not change occur? As I can understand, everything is in motion relative to time, in one way or the other. In massive scale or in tiny fractional scale of particles. So, at the heart of chemistry, social science, engineering, or geography you will find formulas of some derivatives and integrals. But there is one place calculus cannot describe or model. And that is the function of human consciousness. And there is the topic for today's discussion. "CALCULUS OF MIND"

Mindfulness - Calculus of mind

Mind

You cannot understand the mind function by a mathematical formula. As fundamentally you are the formula itself. But we can use principles of calculus to understand this fundamental function of life. The science is tricky here as we are bounded by our subjective understanding. So, we have another method which is called "Mindfulness". Mindfulness is none other than watching the mind function in the infinite timescale to see how the values (and) things change in mind relative to the time. However, just like the models made by mathematical formula is not the reality by itself but just an approximation of it, the conclusions the mind makes about itself by mindfulness process are not correct themselves, or not the reality itself. Maybe we should just call it another "derivative" or "integral". Useful, but limited.

My question is, are you willing to make your own formula for the mind function? How is it doing lately? Positive?
