In a previous paper, the authors proposed a mathematical definition of a public language and a new model of consciousness based on that public language. Consciousness spans a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, philosophy, mathematics, physics, and psychology, and it is desirable that the model of consciousness should also be able to answer questions of consciousness in each discipline. This paper applies the HLbC model proposed by the authors to the question of psychological consciousness and examines whether it can explain the phenomenon. Regarding the problem of so-called optical illusions, such as Rubin's vase, it can be explained by the fact that consciousness is caused by a stochastic fluctuation of consciousness with respect to figures that can be interpreted in multiple ways. Empathy and mutual understanding are also proposed to be mathematically represented and understood in terms of the Kullback-Leibler divergence, which is the basis of the HLbC model. Furthermore, the HLbC model was applied to prospect theory, the basis of behavioural economics, and confirmed that its properties can be successfully explained. From the above, we confirmed that the proposed HLbC model can explain the phenomenon of psychological consciousness.
