Comments to the rights declared for the sign "psi squared"

What does the symbol "psi squared" mean? Psi squared has got a lot of meanings. Let us take some of the various meanings of this figure.

It has been declared as a logo, symbol, sign on a standard, as a label, emblem, as a patrimonial symbol and as a trade mark ® "psi squared" for SGTP.

Y stands for the natural succession from Y in

the sense of IUPsyS (international Union of Psychological

Science).

The choice of the symbol Y for the power base in the expression has its reasons. It contains the high evaluation of the Y in terms of the successes of the IUPsyS - Y and of the constructive trends of the IUPsyS development.

( Imagine that Y<1, let Y= 0,1 then = 0,01 and the whole can turn to be an

extremely little value, just rending the air. I hope this scientific joke will be normally and with the sense of humor accepted in IUPsyS and will be adequately understood).

Y is a good and vast reason especially in the sense that it has accumulated a vast variety and a great amount of the experimental materials.

There can be no other base but Y as a symbol of successes of the International Union of Psychological Science.

The scientific consideration of the subjective time was till that day undeservedly put into the point 5.6. of the Topic Category List of the XXVII Congress of

, while the subjective time is a form for the gnoseological ratio. All the values, which are of interest for the psychology, are temporal. All the times are very significant for the subject.

Today, the including the subjective time into consideration in terms of natural sciences (with the attention it has deserved) significantly widens the

object of the psychological science (Addition to the Topic Category List).

It is naturally to ask a question: to what extent?

As the space of the meanings and the space of the times are obviously not additive, their addition won't really reflect the changes going on in the psychological

science now.

The space for the scientific researches is increasing not doublewide, but it is just squared.

The area of the scientific seeking in the psychology with the including of the subjective times into the scientific consideration is also squared. Geometrically it is the increasing of the square of the scientific researches which means raising to the second degree. It is logically to indicate it as a

(As for me, this recalls the exciting associations with the formula of the german Nobel Prize Winner Ervin Schroedinger for the probability density, which is full of poetry and music)
