My most recent paper, for submitted for publication in “Process Studies”
Finite Eventism gives the philosophy of science of Russell and Whitehead’s event ontology. The concluding section gives an account of the mind-brain interaction sequence by treating the brain and its “dominant monad” as a purely sequential formation, or causal set.

Causal Set Theory and the Origin of Mass-ratio
Quantum theory is reconstructed using standalone causal sets. The frequency ratios inherent in causal sets are used to define energy-ratios, implicating the causal link as the quantum of action. Space-time and its particle-like sequences are then constructed from causal links. A 4-D time-lattice pattern is defined and used to model neutrinos and electron clouds, which together constitute our 4-D manifold. A 6-D time-lattice is used to model the nucleons. The integration of the nucleus with its electron cloud allows calculation of the mass-ratio of the proton (or the neutron) with respect to the electron. Arrow diagrams, along with several ball-and-stick models, are used to streamline the presentation.

The Adequacy of Language for Finite Domains of Reference — This paper summarizes the logic and language underpinning the reduction of physics to temporal succession. It was written for a Whitehead conference held in Salzburg in 2006.
Adequacy of Language
Whitehead and the Reduction of Matter to Mind is an informal paper focused on Whitehead’s panpsychism of occasions of experience engaged in temporal/causal succession to form the physical universe.
