Abstract
Regular physics invokes fundamental theories that are implicitly matter-based, with the corollary that life depends on special configurations of matter. A radical change in the the basic conceptual model leads to a state of affairs where at the deepest level behaviour of a biological or cognitive character is the norm, giving a very different perspective on phenomena such as insight and creativity, as well as on processes such as extra-sensory perception (ESP) that traditionally are considered anomalies.
