A mindset is a relatively stable cognitive disposition to perceive, interpret, and act within a domain in characteristic ways. Parameters: (1) it involves a pattern of interpretation or approach rather than a single belief or fact, (2) it is formed and reinforced through repeated experience, social learning, and cultural transmission, (3) it operates as a filter — shaping what is noticed and how alternatives are evaluated — without being directly observable itself. Persistence mechanism: maintained through reinforcement (confirmation bias, habitual application), social reinforcement (shared language, institutional practice), and intergenerational transmission (teaching, modeling, narrative). A mindset is not a thought but the structure that selects and weights thoughts. [formal: dispositio | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]
