Spirit in Physics
Abstract
Spirit, a concept deeply rooted in human consciousness, has been traditionally unquantifiable in classical physical sciences. This study introduces the Kawasaki Model, which conceptualizes spirit as a vector space, allowing for its measurement and structuring analysis through physics empirical methods.
The research employs skin potential measurements and emotion analysis to investigate Spirit's physics structure and dynamics. dynamics. Inspired by the Rubber-Hand, Marble-Hand illusions and Traditional Buddhism Mandala Method. Participants are vectorizing conceptual structures using the Mandala method. They are exposed to physical and digital stimuli as they interact with conceptual separations and integrations, observing changes in skin potential and facial expressions. These responses are timestamped and analyzed, revealing the impact of self-expansiveness—spirituality's core property—on both physicality and cognition.
Results demonstrate that spirit can be quantitatively measured and represented as vectors in an information space. The study finds that self-expansiveness influences individual behavior, societal structures, and even physiological states, acting as energy and mass in physical terms.
This novel approach provides a foundation for integrating spirit into physical sciences, with potential applications in understanding mental health, social dynamics, and personal growth. Future work will validate and expand these findings to ensure reproducibility and broader applicability.

Introduction
What are the characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals?
In Japanese, humans are referred to as primates, and spirit has been regarded as having specific qualities. However, spirit has not been measured or quantified as a physical science.
This research refers to the following paper and proposes to measure and quantify the structure of spirit using physical methods as the Kawasaki Model.

Structure of Spirit (Spirit in Physics: Kawasaki Model)
The core of the model is that Spirits are Vectors.
By representing spirit as vectors, it becomes possible to measure human consciousness and unconsciousness and to facilitate their transformation.
These have traditionally been treated as mandala methods in Japanese Buddhism.
Physical Definition of Spirit
Basic structure of spirit: Similar to vector spaces
Basic properties of spirit: Similar to information
Dynamic structure of spirit: Similar to Bohr's atomic model
Interactions of spirit: Similar to molecular interactions
Characteristics of spirit: Spirit acts on physicality
Energy quantity of spirit: It has been proven that information possesses energy.
Spirituality meaning is understand spirit.

To measure spirit, the information space of individuals is vectorized.
Structuring Spirit
Using the Mandala method, the information space of individuals is vectorized.
MANDALA
Place your name in the center. Then, write down the concepts that have the most influence on your current life around you.
Basic structure of spirit: Similar to vector spaces
Individuals judge the commonality between concepts presented on the screen as either close or distant.
Based on the response results, a vector space coordinate is created for the concepts between individuals.
Measuring Spirit
The vectorized concepts are presented on the screen, and visual effects are used to separate them.
The changes in skin potential due to these effects are measured.
By measuring the range of effects of the concepts, the range of effects of spirit can be measured.
Measurement Using Skin Potential (Qualitative Research)
Measurement is conducted using skin potential.
While presenting the separation and integration of concepts on the screen, participants are shown expressions of separation or integration on the screen.
Changes in skin potential during these actions are measured.
The measurement of skin potential uses SKINPRO.
Concept measurements are timestamped, and aligned with the timestamps of the skin potential measurement device, analyzing the changes in skin potential and the characteristics during the separation and integration of concepts.
In the Rubber hand illusion, skin potential changed as shown in the graphs.

Similar results were obtained in the analysis of the structure of spirit through concept measurement (currently a hypothesis).
Measurement Using Emotion Analysis (Quantitative Research)
Facial expressions are measured using a camera.
While presenting the separation and integration of concepts on the screen, participants are shown expressions of separation or integration on the screen.
The separation of the above concepts is presented on the screen while using a camera to measure the participants' facial expressions.
Changes in the participants' facial expressions during the separation and integration of concepts are measured.
Emotion analysis in the Mar hand illusion changed as shown in the graphs.
Similar results were obtained in the analysis of the structure of spirit through concept measurement (currently a hypothesis).

Conclusion
The research demonstrated that it is possible to measure and quantify the structure of human spirit using physical methods.
From these results, it was found that spirit is self-expansiveness.
It was found that self-expansiveness changes.
It was found that the body is influenced by self-expansiveness.
It was found that the mind is influenced by self-expansiveness.
It was found that society is formed by self-expansiveness.
It was found that self-expansiveness can be represented in a Vector DB.
Applied Research
Understanding the self based on self-expansiveness
Explaining mental pain based on self-expansiveness
Explaining the pain of social structures based on self-expansiveness
Realizing the self based on self-expansiveness
This research has shown that spirit can be structured, measured, and quantified.
It has also been shown that individual spirit can be represented in vector space based on measurements.
Spirit interacts as a vector of information space in physical space, and information acts as mass and energy in physical space, affecting the physicality of individuals.
Using Buddhist terminology, this is non-separation of self and others.
This research conducts measurements and quantifications of human spirit based on the Mar hand illusion experiment.
