ABSTRACT
The mind as the source of human thinking is more than just what the traditional definition of intelligence provides, the concept of rational thinking in accordance with inference and rules of logic. The good news is that the metaphysical components can be developed into a model and structured into mechanistic rules without compromising too much and creating a too great discrepancy between a virtual mind and a human mind. To model a virtual mind, one has two options: either to replicate it on a single individual or on a perceived average mind representing a greater collective; a society, a nation or a cultural domain. A virtual mind can cover a wide array of applications which current computer architecture finds not feasible, namely, the forecasting and scenario testing of human behaviour, understanding when thought narratives are likely to change, what thought system would be deployed in any given situation.
