DNA-Self Theory: The Bloch Sphere and our Genetic NOT Decisions
The Bloch sphere emerged from quantum mechanics of spin-1/2 particles (two-level systems like qubits or nuclear spins) in magnetic fields, generalizing classical spin precession to quantum superpositions.

Metacognitive Integration: The key to Self-Actualisation?
Metacognitive Integration is a dynamic process of exploration, identification, connection AND reconnection of the organismic self with it’s systemwide functions. It is a process that allows the individual to actualise themselves. This optimises the integration of their organism, to allow them to better thrive in the local environment.

Organismic Processes and the Organismic Self
Carl Rogers, in his person-centred approach to therapy, emphasized the inherent potential for growth within each individual. He believed that individuals possess a natural drive towards self-actualization (Rogers, 1961), a process of becoming the best version of oneself. This drive is rooted in what he called Organismic Processes – the innate, biological tendencies that guide our development and well-being.
