- I research human cognizing with the aim of constructing and applying its adequate models, to reveal constraints on cognizing and its origination, approaching to understanding the origination of cellular realities.
- Two ongoing projects Constructing Adequate Models of Cognizing and Constructing Adequate Models of Origination of Cognizing aim to examine viability of models of cognizing and its origination based on combinatorial games.
The projects are based on the following key assumptions and research findings:
A1. Cognitive systems and means of their construction are various compositions of basic 1-/2- place classifiers. Only a few means are sufficient to realize those constructions and compositions. We argue A1 by providing decompositions of ongoing constructive cognitive models to the basic classifiers and interpreting in our models the essentials formulated by Jean Piaget asserting that only a few rules are responsible for the development of our cognizing.
A2. At present, the highest cognitive power of humans brings them close to the constructive modeling of their own self-reproduction, both biologically and cognitively. A2 is based on references to current advances in chemical modeling of biological cells and AI advances in cognitive modeling.
A3. Information can originate in Nature. A type of cognizers, octaves, composed from constellations of basic 1-/2- place classifiers and able to enhancing the power of cognizing, but so far limited in that, can adequately model cognitive development of newborns by Piaget.
A4. Since a variety of single classifiers exist in Nature, the existence or origination of recurrent classifiers in Nature is not excluded. For example, any atom represent single, not recurrent classifier, i.e. one able to identify certain realities lonely, solitarily, and form certain molecules.
A1-4 imply the following corollaries:
Clr1 from A1, A3, A4: Classifiers, cognitive systems and means of their construction can originate in Nature within the frame of the laws of physics.
Clr2 from A1 and Clr1: Non-cellular, constructive cognizers comparable with the highest human ones can originate in Nature.
Clr3 from A2 and Clr3: In Nature, non-cellular, constructive cognizers can produce, in a variety of ways, descendant cognizers of comparable effectiveness. It is not excluded that existing cellulars, in fact, represent one of those constructed, evolved cognizers.
Cellular are much more complex than, say computers or satellites, which is why their appearance by chance has almost zero probability. At the same time, there are premises to constructive modeling of highest cognizers that, as it was stated in the assumption A2, are able to constructive modeling of their own self-reproduction both biologically and cognitively. Particularly, able to produce cellular cognizers developing themselves to the present day highest human level.
Clr4: If corollary Clr3 takes place, and if conditions similar to those around us (e.g. in our galaxy) are manifold in the Universe, it can be assumed that powerful cognizers can originate in various regions of the Universe and self-develop to the highest levels allowing them to reproduce themselves in a variety of modes.
Our cognitive models are consistent and complimentary to those in AI, allow to interpret communication, i.e., explaining and understanding of communicates of languages represented both by IDs of meanings of realities and by the samples of input domains of meanings.
