Measuring Conceptual Entanglement in Collections of Documents
Conceptual entanglement is a crucial phenomenon in quantum cognition because it implies that classical probabilities cannot model non--compositional conceptual phenomena. While several psychological experiments have been developed to test conceptual entanglement, this has not been explored in the context of Natural Language Processing. In this paper, we apply the hypothesis that words of a document are traces of the concepts that a person has in mind when writing the document. Therefore, if these concepts are entangled, we should be able to observe traces of their entanglement in the documents. In particular, we test conceptual entanglement by contrasting language simulations with results obtained from a text corpus. Our analysis indicates that conceptual entanglement is strongly linked to the way in which language is structured. We discuss the implications of this finding in the context of conceptual modeling and of Natural Language Processing.
