The Utorics Institute conducts pioneering research at the intersection of quantum mechanics, fluid dynamics, cognitive science, and human-system interaction.
Our goal is to build a foundational scientific discipline—Utorics—that explains and predicts human behavior through measurable principles and mathematical models.
Our research spans theoretical development, experimental validation, applied modeling, and interdisciplinary collaboration with universities and labs worldwide.
Research Philosophy
We approach human behavior as a dynamic, probabilistic field shaped by intent, friction, flow, and environmental energy gradients.
To understand this field, we draw from:
• Quantum probability and superposition
• Fluid dynamics and flow theory
• Behavioral psychology and cognitive science
• Complexity theory and nonlinear systems
• Information theory and entropy reduction
This integrative approach allows us to model user behavior with a level of precision unattainable by traditional UX or behavioral sciences.
Core Research Areas
Quantum-Fluidic Interaction Theory (QFIT)
QFIT is the central theoretical framework of the Institute. Researchers explore:
• Quantum-like intention states
• Cognitive viscosity and resistance
• Flow fields and behavioral energy landscapes
• Interaction probabilities and collapse mechanisms
• The Flow Equation and its predictive applications
We are actively refining the mathematical underpinnings and working to validate QFIT through controlled experiments, longitudinal studies, and simulation models.
Behavioral Quantum Physics
We conduct research into how quantum probabilistic structures can model decision making, attention, and behavioral flow more accurately than classical models. Topics include:
• Quantum probability amplitudes in cognitive states
• Uncertainty and superposition in user intention
• Quantum tunneling analogues in behavior change
• Measurement effects in digital and physical interactions
This research informs both theoretical development and real-world system design.
Fluid Dynamics of Interaction
Our researchers investigate how principles of fluid flow can describe patterns of human movement, attention, and choice. Active topics include:
• Behavioral Reynolds numbers
• Sources, sinks, and vortices in user flows
• Laminar vs. turbulent cognitive states
• Friction coefficients for cognitive load and UI complexity
• Multi-channel flow modeling in complex systems
These experiments help quantify “flow” in measurable, repeatable ways.
Cognitive Friction & Entropy
We study the physics of cognitive friction—how it arises, how it manifests, and how it can be reduced.
Research includes:
• Entropy in user pathways
• Thermodynamic analogues for mental effort
• Negentropy in adaptive and learning systems
• Work-energy models of decision difficulty
This work informs the practical application of Utorics to design, product, and organizational systems.
