This paper incorporates schematic concepts related to mental inertia and provides an avenue for interpreting psychology using the principles of classical mechanics. Schemas find wide application in diverse fields, ranging from ergonomics to psychotherapy. Nonetheless, it is crucial to incorporate schemas themselves into a more unified and comprehensive theoretical framework. Drawing upon the free energy principle (FEP) and the second law of thermodynamics, it is evident that humans possess a natural inclination to construct and maintain consistent cognitive structures. This characteristic contributes to the stability of schemas within a defined range. The particular scope of the model is closely intertwined with its structure, leading to variations among individuals in diverse environments. The coherence of the schema within a defined range can be perceived as the magnitude of mental inertia. This psychological analogy emphasizes the importance of considering the influences exerted by the external environment and their effects on mental inertia when predicting the human mind and behavior.
本文纳入了与心理惯性相关的示意图概念,并提供了一条使用经典力学原理来解释心理学的途径。图式在从人体工程学到心理治疗等不同领域有着广泛应用。然而,将图式本身纳入一个更统一、更全面的理论框架至关重要。借鉴自由能原理(FEP)和热力学第二定律,很明显人类有一种构建和维持一致认知结构的自然倾向。这一特性有助于图式在一定范围内的稳定性。该模型的特定范围与其结构紧密相连,导致个体在不同环境中的差异。在一定范围内图式的连贯性可被视为心理惯性的大小。这种心理学类比强调了在预测人类思维和行为时考虑外部环境施加的影响及其对心理惯性的作用的重要性。
