The '''fractal catalytic model''' (also referred to as the '''fractal catalytic theory''' or '''soliton-catalytic model''') - proposed by Christopher James Davia and adopted in the research of [[Carnegie Mellon University]] (Lee and Marge Gregg) Professor of Psychology [[Patricia Carpenter]] - is a “theory of cognition grounded in metabolism” <ref>{{cite journal |url= http://www.psy.cmu.edu:16080/~davia/mbc/ |year= 2002 |last1= Davia |first1= C.J. |title= Minds, Brains & Catalysis: A theory of cognition grounded in metabolism |journal= Dept of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 |access-date= 2012-03-06 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100621171749/http://www.psy.cmu.edu:16080/~davia/mbc/ |archive-date= 2010-06-21 |url-status= dead }} – also alternately titled: “Quantum Ontology: Minds, Brains, and Catalysts”.</ref> which identifies [[enzymatic]] [[catalysis]] (taking place in cells) as a “prototypical process” <ref name=Davia2006>{{citation

The theory asserts that energy and structure (also information) become synonymous in complex biological structures via a self-organizing, multiple-scale catalytic process (thus: bioenergetics = bioinformatics) – the proposed mechanism involving the catalytic action of [[soliton]] propagation in (biological) [[excitable media]].<ref name="Davia2006"/> The theory resolves problems (particularly problems associated with brain function) arising from an assumed distinction between function and metabolism. The theory attempts to show that no such distinction exists; thus: FUNCTION = METABOLISM = CATALYSIS.<ref name="Davia2006"/>
