VOLUME 8 OF THE COPERNICAN SERIES

Atoms, Stars and Minds: Synthesizing An Elementary Particle That Comprehends Itself, the third volume of The Copernican Series, hypothesizes an elementary particle with two properties, motion and attraction, to explain the motion and force measured in the universe. It requires that the hypothesized particle describe a mind that can perceive the measured force and motion that the particle describes.

The Model Mind: How The Mind Moves Matter, the fourth volume of The Copernican Series, describes how the resulting mind, described in the last four chapters of Atoms, Stars and Minds, affects physical matter.

This, the eighth volume of The Copernican Series, takes the mind's operation a step further and describes how it produces the societies that we form, the religions we observe, the sciences we create and the behavior we are driven to engage in.

Human Nature: How The Mind Generates Behavior describes how the mind handles objects in physical reality; how it deals with nonapparent reality, questions of energy, the source of force and motion and questions of origin, the source of objects in physical reality; how it creates realities that do not exist in reality to produce the technology we use to alter reality to our benefit; and how, by creating realities that do not exist in reality, the mind, by its interactions with other minds, creates morality to restrain what would otherwise be societally destructive behavior.

Human Nature concludes discussing how the mind drives one society to take the resources of other societies and how that drive might affect the future of the planet.
