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

A public conceptual view of the Life EngineFour conceptual domains of task evaluation around a central Life Engine, with supporting dimensions.LIFEENGINEEvaluationMotivationActivityExperienceKnowledgeWillpowerResourceAttention
The Life Engine is being developed to help QDAIS consider more than a task label: for example, knowledge, urgency, attention, resources, uncertainty and experience.
What the Life Engine can consider at a public level

The public concept includes available and missing knowledge, importance, urgency, attention, resources, required effort, uncertainty and experience gained. It does not disclose scales, factor weights, routing or decision formulas.

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.

01

Practical

What can be done usefully in the present context?

02

Critical

What deserves careful examination before acting?

03

Hopeful

What constructive possibility may be worth considering?

04

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.
