Semantic Bell Tests: Probing Quantum-like Entanglement in Human Conceptual Processing

This idea directly extends Aerts et al.'s surprising finding that Italian language corpora violate Bell inequalities (Source 1, "Question the norm"). While their work suggests entanglement in conceptual combinations, we'll take this further by designing live cognitive experiments where humans make choices about concept combinations (e.g., "The Animal Acts") in real-time. By treating human decisions as "measurements" and concept pairs as "entangled systems," we can test for Bell violations in actual cognitive processing. This moves beyond corpus analysis to probe the mechanism of conceptual entanglement. Unlike traditional Bell tests in physics, this explores whether quantum formalism describes cognitive nonlocality. The novelty lies in bridging quantum information science with cognitive neuroscience, potentially revealing that entanglement is a fundamental property of complex systems beyond physics. If successful, this could revolutionize our understanding of human reasoning and validate quantum cognition models.
