Genius is defined as a person of outstanding mental skills. These skills result from genius’ brain structure and physiology that are determined by genetics. It seems that environment and education may only inhibit development of a genius. Based on a simple model of brain phase space we formulate two hypotheses about dynamics of mental processes in genius’ brain and the difference between genius thinking and a mental illness or insanity.
Key words: Genius / Nonlinear dynamics / Deterministic chaos / Brain / Phase space / Attractor / Chaosensology / Conditional definition / Normality / Insanity
