ABOITES, Vicente. Metafísica y dinámica caótica. Valenciana [online]. 2009, vol.2, n.3, pp.89-102. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i3.257.

From an internalist viewpoint for mental states, it is proposed that any dynamical system with coexisting chaotic attractors has an emergent property. This provides a non reductive explanation of mental states and their high sensitivity to noise and initial conditions. If metaphysical terms result from the mental states and these are emergent properties of dynamical systems with coexisting attractors, such as the brain, it is suggested that this may provide a physical explanation of metaphysical concepts.

Palabras llave : metaphysic; philosophy of the mind; chaotic dynamic emergent properties.
