PICCOLI CONSIGLI PRATICI
For years, I have published across a wide range of journals and disciplines, including mathematics, physics, biology, neuroscience, medicine and philosophy. Now, having no further need to expand my scientific output or advance my academic standing, I have chosen to shift my approach. Instead of writing full-length articles for peer review, I now focus on recording and sharing original ideas, i.e., conceptual insights and hypotheses that I hope might inspire experimental work by researchers more capable than myself. I refer to these short pieces as nugae, a Latin word meaning “trifles”, “nuts” or “playful thoughts”.
I invite you to use these ideas as you wish, in any way you find helpful. I ask only that you kindly cite my writings, which are accompanied by a DOI for proper referencing.
SCIENTIST
I've never followed my teachers' advice: "Tozzi, be on focus!"
Exploring hidden multidisciplinary relationships, I had the unexpected privilege of publishing in a wide array of Journals. My metatheoretic foundation is what I term "testable rationalism": experimental previsions from top-down, deductive mathematical/topological methods. ORCID

A SUMMARY OF MY IDEAS & two short movies
A SUMMARY OF MY IDEAS & two short movies
My teachers used to tell me: “Tozzi, be on focus”. But I never liked “to be on focus”: I like a lot to play with hidden, unexpected multidisciplinary relationships. Despite my harsh criticism to current attitudes toward scientific issues, I never take a full sceptic turn: I engage in “pragmaticistic” active outreach, showing how fresh interpretation of everlasting questions sheds new light on countless scientific issues. Here I try to provide scientific… questions to classical answers through the unusual format of the Quodlibets. The Medieval quodlibetal (quodlibet= any whatever) questions consisted in raising issues or objections about anything from basic Christian issues to heretic controversies. Open to a broader public - masters, students from different schools, ecclesiastical and civil authorities - these questions could be posed by any member of the audience without any prior notice. While Medieval philosophers favoured a methodology consisting of the Aristotelian deductive logic, I will use a twofold approach to my quodlibetal questions: 1) the Galilean inductive method distinctive of the current scientific attitude; 2) a metatheoretic starting point that I term “testable rationalism”: sharp experimental previsions arising from top-down, deductive mathematical/topological approaches. In this paper, going through physical, biological, neuroscientific and philosophical issues, I do hope that the reader will forgive me.

TOPOLOGY OF THE BRAIN WAVES
Novel methodological approaches to assess topological mappings and projections between biophysical phase spaces have been recently introduced in neuroscience. In this brief survey of our published manuscripts, we discuss how the “unreasonable power” of algebraic topology permits an experimentally testable top-down inquiry of the brain activity. PDF

TWO USEFUL, SHORT MOVIES
Topology: Borsuk-Ulam theorem and its variants
A mathematical theorem stands for a general principle that explains physical and biological issues.
Our mind is multidimensional
A possible solution of the mind/body problem, based on recently published neuroscientific proofs
Across my work, a recurring theme emerges: complex systems do not evolve through randomness or simple linear causation alone, but through structured, often hidden mathematical patterns embedded in space, time and nature.
Here you are two CONCISE SUMMARIES of my IDEAS AND PROJECTS along with two helpful short movies: Borsuk-Ulam theorem and its variants & Our mind is multidimensional.
