Mind-body problem and Quantitative versus qualitative change

below paragraphs come from a bigger work
Philosophical research
:
The mind-body problem
essentially boils down to another problem,
the mind-bodies problem
. Due to the existence of subtle bodies and the personal spirit, or Pneuma, which, like Soma (the lower self), has a main body and additional bodies. In total, there are six or seven such bodies. Three or four concern Soma (an ordinary person): the main atomic body and additional bodies: subtle body I (sometimes called the astral body, composed of protons) and subtle body II (sometimes called the mental body, composed of electrons). The next bodies are the Pneuma bodies, the main quark-gluon body, and the next two bodies. Thus, in the problem under consideration, we are dealing not with one body but with many; it is therefore a mind-bodies problem.
The mind is practically reduced to these bodies
, but it should be noted that the mind is a process, the process of these bodies.

diagram. Logistic development
Logistic development (see diagram and for example my text
Sociological theory
- ) can explain a difference between a qualitative change and quantitative change. It shows that
each kind of so called qualitative change, like for example liquefaction of gas, is just some form of quantitative change
. Marxists are using conception of change where quantitative changes transform to qualitative change. But this idea is containing fundamental mistake that there is a difference between qualitative and quantitative change.
What I would like to emphasize is each so called qualitative change, for example the transition of water into ice, or steam into water, is actually a cumulative quantitative change; that is, a quantitative change taking place quickly over a short period of time. So there are no qualitative changes, only quantitative ones.
(year 2008)
Gregory Podgorniak, Poland
about the author, My name is Gregory Podgorniak (brn. 01.1977, Szczecinek, West Pomerania, Poland). I am working on field of natural as well as social sciences. During philosophical studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (1996-1999) I was actively act in student scientific organisation, got a scientific scholarship, and one from my articles titled
Circulus vitiosus and fourfold petitio principii in the system of Descartes
was published in Humanistic Drafts of Publishing House of Humaniora Foundation in Poznan, no. 6, 1998. Unfortunately certain fate events made impossible to me continuing studies to master's and later doctor's degree. Thence I was forced to be content only with a title of bachelor.
Thanks to deep and penetrating researchings I was able to establish indisputably some number of my past incarnations reaching of ancient period, these data are certain, these incarnations are: Auguste Comte (1798-1857) French philosopher and sociologist, Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) French physicist and meteorologist, Aenesidemus (1 st century BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Arcesilaus (315-241 BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Gorgias (485-380 BC) Greek sophist.

The transition phase in a jump change, for example the transition from water to ice, is a very rapid process, so much so that it creates the impression of a qualitative transition.

So the main body of Pneuma is quark-gluon body.
