Appendix

An important part of proposing a new theory is comparing it to preexisting ones.  The advantage of this approach is it uses what people already know about cognitive models to fast-track their grasp of a new one. The problem with this approach is that there are so few complete and competent theories of cognition before TDE/QOLEM theory (TQT):- 

(a) the QOLEM is the first cognitive model which successfully resolves Libet's Paradox without unnecessary proliferation of concepts, ie in accordance with Occam. It does so by adding an extra dimension to the psychophysical space, the dimension of volition. The result is that four qualium sub-states become possible, consisting of a crossing between binary consciousness and binary volition, thus-  {C(onscious), U(nconscious)}  X   {V(oluntary), U(nconscious)} . These substates are {CV, CI, UV, UI}.

(b) The QOLEM solution is a very concrete one- it involves a physical proposal - the neural overlaying or decussation between input fibers and output fibers.  This overlaying corresponds to the Equilibrium Point theory of Feldman, an approach which echoes exactly the 'heterodyne', a cybernetic concept in TGT.
