I appreciate the links, but here I'm more concerned with whether a statistical analysis of human behaviour has facilitated a mathematical expression of such (using equations), to the extent that it can be compared to the mathematics of quantum behaviour. Such would lend much weight to theories from the likes of Penrose, of course.
So, has the various statistical evidence of human behaviour exhibited any kind of enduring pattern sufficient to enable an all-encompassing mathematical expression of such? Probably not. Does this mean that we don't have enough statistical evidence of human behaviour, or does the existing evidence already suggest that no such patterns exist? Or, is an objective study of human behaviour just impossible? If so, why? Etc..
Now we're in the realms of psychology, more useful responses might be forthcoming.
