Abstract
En este artículo proponemos un modelo hipotético de causalidad mental que denominamos poda semántica
y que podría definirse como la influencia causal de los contenidos y significados sobre la configuración espacial
de la red de sinapsis de un individuo. Nos guiaremos por dos principios centrales: 1) la influencia causal de lo
mental se produce en virtud de constricciones semánticas externas y consiste en la activación selectiva de ciertos
poderes físicos, 2) cuando la activación selectiva es continuada, desencadena un proceso de poda sináptica en la
red neural y neuromuscular.
In this paper I propose a hypothetical model of mental causation that I call semantic pruning and which could be defined as the causal influence of contents and meanings on the spatial configuration of the network of synapses of an individual. I will be guided by two central principles: 1) the causal influence of the mental occurs by virtue of external semantic constraints and consists in the selective activation of certain physical powers, 2) when the selective activation is continual, it triggers a process of synaptic pruning in the neural and neuromuscular network.
