Abstract

This essay discusses the epistemic status of psychologist and neurophysiologist Jacobo Grinberg's syntergistic theory based on the demarcation criteria established by Karl Popper and Paul Feyerabend. The syntergistic theory asserts that the reality experienced by human beings is the result of the interaction between the neuronal field and the lattice, a hypercomplex energetic structure underlying space-time that interacts with the neuronal field formed by perceptions and shapes reality. Thus, reality is a continuous process of interactions between consciousness (which varies from individual to individual) and the world. This theory, developed within the framework of psychology and neuroscience, also employs elements of metaphysics borrowed from Eastern traditions and philosophies. The syntergistic theory has been defamed as pseudoscientific, given that its postulates cannot be empirically tested; however, it enjoys significant acceptance among non-scientific audiences and therefore merits further investigation into its demarcation. This essay analyzes the theory to determine whether it is scientific, pseudoscientific, or falls into the non-scientific category.
