MS#134B. The Atomistic Revival, 2011 With Sisir Roy, ISI Calcutta. World Futures 68:1 (January 2012), pp. 30-39. Subjects: Consciousness, Computational Math Abstract: In our recent book (Abraham and Roy, 2010) we have repurposed a mathematical model for the quantum vacuum as a model of consciousness. In this model, discrete space and time are derived from a discrete cellular dynamical network. As our model is essentially atomistic, we included in our book a short support chapter on atomism. In this paper we expand on the few pages of that chapter devoted to the history of atomism, to place the current revival of atomism in a larger context.
