OCTAGONCYCLE
02 — PUBLIC COGNITION
COGNITION NEEDS
MORE THAN A TASK LIST
ACI is being developed around selected, human-inspired structures of goal-directed cognition — without claiming to reproduce a biological human brain.
PUBLIC OCTAGONCYCLE
EIGHT COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVES
The public OctagonCycle names selected ways a cognitive system can attend to goal-directed work. It is a conceptual view, not an execution rule set.
LIFE ENGINE
More context around the work
STATES OF MIND
THE SAME FACTS CAN REQUIRE DIFFERENT COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVES
States of Mind can guide what a cognitive system pays attention to without dictating its conclusion. A critical perspective does not automatically mean reject; a hopeful perspective does not automatically mean approve.
Practical
What can be done usefully in the present context?
Critical
What deserves careful examination before acting?
Hopeful
What constructive possibility may be worth considering?
Supportive
What would help people and systems move forward well?
GOVERNED LEARNING
EXPERIENCE CAN BECOME USEFUL LATER
QDAIS is designed to do more than retain every past interaction without context. Useful experience can be interpreted, scoped and made available to later cognition where appropriate.
