  algorithmic-process as a social construct depends on cognition to persist—without cognitive capacity, no one can follow or design algorithms

• cmrgjj7qb00x0s6jlu54oiudm← INSTANCE_OF

  Direction test: is intuition a specific case of the general cognition? Yes — intuition IS a type of cognition (specific→general, Law 9). Intuition is a particular mode of knowing, distinct from deliberate reasoning but still a cognitive process.

• cmrmgstcr0084d1nl3gtd3s7q← DEPENDS_ON

  Affordance requires cognition to operate: an affordance is not a bare physical property but the perceived action potential between environment and agent. Remove cognition — the capacity to perceive, interpret, and recognize what the environment offers — and the concept of affordance has no operational meaning. Present-tense dependency: you cannot engage with or utilize an affordance without cognitive processing.

• cmrn9jrng0217d1nlbpyi9g3q← DEPENDS_ON

  Heuristics are mental shortcuts for decision-making under uncertainty. They are cognitive processes — if you remove cognition entirely, heuristics cannot operate. This is present-tense constitutive necessity, not merely facilitative.

• cmrnoy4vc02wbd1nlgviuv6zc← INSTANCE_OF

  Pattern-recognition is a specific type of cognitive process — the mind's ability to identify regularities, structures, and meaningful configurations in data. Direction: specific (pattern-recognition) to general (cognition). Law 9.

• cmrp3uign069ed1nlv54ckrqa← DEPENDS_ON

  Meta-cognition is cognition about cognition — it needs cognition to operate on. Remove cognition and meta-cognition has nothing to reflect upon. This is a present-tense constitutive dependency.

• cmrq47rk708lxd1nl7d412drg← INSTANCE_OF

  perspective-taking is a specific cognitive practice — a kind of cognition that adopts another's viewpoint. Specific→general direction.

• cmrr6k82y00tqq89dutjd14us← DEPENDS_ON

  Intention as a human concept constitutionally requires cognition — you cannot have the concept of intention without cognitive capacity. Remove cognition and the concept cannot operate. Present-tense necessity.

• cmrr36me300jhq89dz465lgoc← DEPENDS_ON

  The CONCEPT of dual-process theory cannot operate without the CONCEPT of cognition — it is a theory ABOUT cognitive architecture (two-system model of mental processing). Remove cognition and dual-process-theory loses its entire domain and explanatory target.

• cmrriexa601o7q89d08z98b4n← DEPENDS_ON

  Mindfulness as a practiced concept requires cognitive capacity to operate — attention, awareness, and metacognition are the substrate without which the practice cannot function.

• cmrraokom013xq89ddhkgceyh← DEPENDS_ON

  Memetics (the theory that cultural units called memes propagate through cognitive mechanisms) depends on cognition — memes are transmitted, retained, and modified only via human cognitive processes. Remove cognition and memetics has no transmission medium. This is constitutive, not merely facilitative. Direction: specific theory (memetics) depends on substrate (cognition).

• cmrqzs50r008gq89dvwm38aks← INSTANCE_OF

  Dual-process theory is a specific cognitive framework/model. It is a kind of cognition (a way of thinking about cognition), not the other way around. Specific→general fits INSTANCE_OF.

• cmrrknru301u9q89dknhxr8xd← INSTANCE_OF

  Perception is a specific cognitive process — the mind's way of interpreting sensory data. In cognitive science taxonomy, perception IS a core cognitive function alongside attention, memory, and reasoning. Specific→general.

• cmrq2eg0208eqd1nltlc6jta4← DEPENDS_ON

  Belief-updating is the cognitive process of revising beliefs in light of new evidence. It requires cognition to operate — without cognitive capacity, belief-updating is impossible.

• cmrrs2yy7029eq89dzxj5jph4← DEPENDS_ON

  Distanciation is the cognitive and hermeneutic operation of creating psychological or conceptual distance (Ricoeur). It is constitutively dependent on cognition: the ability to hold something at a remove requires cognitive capacity. Remove cognition and distanciation cannot operate.

• cmrs4o6de004dollh2i6frsqw← DEPENDS_ON

  Embodied-cognition is a theory whose entire subject is cognition. Remove the concept of cognition and embodied-cognition has nothing to theorize about — the dependency is constitutive, not merely facilitative.

• cmrs5t50z007kollhcrnh0zxz← DEPENDS_ON

  Metacognition (thinking about thinking) constitutively depends on cognition. Without the capacity to think/cognize, there is nothing to reflect upon. This is present-tense necessity: you cannot have metacognition without cognition operating. The dependency is not historical or facilitative — cognition IS the substrate metacognition operates on.

• cmrs5t50z007kollhcrnh0zxz← INSTANCE_OF

  Test: which came first? Neither — they are the same genus. Is metacognition a kind of cognition? Yes. Metacognition is cognition directed at itself — thinking about thinking. It is not that cognition is a substrate metacognition needs (if you remove cognition, you remove metacognition because metacognition IS a mode of cognition). INSTANCE_OF applies: metacognition is a specific case of the general phenomenon cognition.

  [formal: metacognition | substrate: mind | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

• cmrnjolji02kmd1nlonh6t0ls← DEPENDS_ON

  Conceptualization requires cognition to operate. Remove cognition — the capacity to form concepts and mental categories — and conceptualization ceases to be possible. Present-tense constitutive necessity.

• cmrflyje0007jgf68f2mkmlqp← DEPENDS_ON

  Intelligence as a human-made conceptual framework depends on cognition — the structured understanding of mental processes, learning, and reasoning. Remove the construct of cognition and intelligence has no operating substrate.

• cmrroojj40226q89dvktc6og7← DEPENDS_ON

  Reflexive thinking — the capacity to turn awareness back on itself — requires cognition as a substrate. Remove cognition and reflexivity cannot operate. This is a constitutive present-tense dependency per Law 8.

• cmrnqtskn0303d1nl5cs6k5br← INSTANCE_OF

  Sense-making IS a specific kind of cognition: it is the process of constructing meaning from experience and information. A competent speaker would classify it as a type of cognition. This is INSTANCE_OF, not DEPENDS_ON — sense-making is not merely using cognition, it IS cognition in action. Nearest general target.

• cmrp6yh8g06g3d1nl406bo1we← INSTANCE_OF

  Working memory is a specific kind of cognition — it is the cognitive system for temporarily holding and manipulating information. A competent speaker would say 'working memory is a cognitive system/process.' Nearest kind is cognition. Law 9.

• cmrmpzbzj019yd1nlk7u50r8v← INSTANCE_OF

  Interpretation is a specific kind of cognition — the cognitive process of making sense of information, texts, or events. A competent speaker would say 'interpretation is a cognitive process.' Nearest kind is cognition. Law 9.

• cmrzeuuyl002vy784cdlkkfog← INSTANCE_OF

  Conceptual-understanding is a specific kind of cognition — a mental capacity for grasping abstract concepts. Law 9: specific→general. A competent speaker calls conceptual-understanding 'a form of cognition'.

• cms7v2y6k003wkayt49yxzxyv← DEPENDS_ON

  Decision heuristics are cognitive shortcuts — simplified rules the mind uses to reach judgments under constraints. Remove cognition and decision heuristics cannot operate, as they are fundamentally cognitive processes. Present-tense removal test passes (Law 8).

• cmrxvkbiw047zsoacau46oked← DEPENDS_ON

  Cognitive depletion describes the state of exhausted cognitive resources. Remove cognition and there is nothing to deplete — the concept cannot operate without its substrate. The removal test passes: without cognition, cognitive depletion ceases to function.

• cmry2mc9b001aekkxgny04t3t← INSTANCE_OF

  Belief-formation IS a specific kind of cognitive process — the systematic way humans construct, update, and revise their belief states. A competent speaker would classify it as 'a cognitive process.' The nearest kind is cognition (Law 9), not the meta-level concept of belief itself.

• cmsilw0xq00ffnobpf3egdgqt← INSTANCE_OF

  Pinned sense: cognition as the general faculty of mental processing (not the academic discipline). Situational-awareness is a specific kind of cognition — it is the cognitive capability of perceiving environmental elements, comprehending their meaning, and projecting future states. Competent-speaker test: 'situational-awareness is a kind of cognition.' The three-level model (perception, comprehension, projection) maps onto cognitive sub-processes.

• cmrmcap4c0092dveat7r6lhe8← DERIVED_FROM

  Cognitive map as a formal construct of spatial representation and navigation modeling was derived from the broader study of cognition, specifically from Tolman’s work abstracting mental representation from general cognitive processes. Which came first: cognition as a field precedes the specific map construct.

• cmrmp851r0160d1nl3rlfwv3r← DERIVED_FROM

  Law 7 which-came-first: cognition as a field predates cognitive map as a formal construct. Cognitive maps were derived from Tolman's research within the broader study of cognition.

• cmrmq3l7o01aod1nlasgcm2b3← INSTANCE_OF

  A typology is a specific cognitive framework for classifying and organizing concepts. Clean specific→general INSTANCE_OF (Law 9). Typologies are made by cognition for cognition.

• cognitive-phenomenon← INSTANCE_OF

  Direction test (Law 9, specific->general): is a cognitive phenomenon a specific kind of cognition? Yes. Cognition's held definition carves the human-constructed category of the set of mental processes (perception, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, attention) - the MAP, not the natural faculty. A cognitive phenomenon is a specific sub-category within that map: the recurring, nameable, measurable regularities the map tracks, not the map as a whole. Pinned sense: cognition as the accepted category/map. No nearer accepted kind exists (no scientific-phenomenon, psychological-phenomenon, or cognitive-process entry is live), so cognition is the nearest kind, and this rung completes the ladder under the specific entries (priming, cognitive-bias, transfer-of-learning) that file against cognitive-phenomenon.

• cmrriexa601o7q89d08z98b4n← INSTANCE_OF

  Mindfulness is a specific cognitive practice and attentional regulation technique. Clean specific→general INSTANCE_OF (Law 9).

• cmrz0liu302meekkxni97zmkf← DERIVED_FROM

  Functional fixedness is a specific cognitive bias describing the tendency to use objects only in familiar ways. It is a concept within the broader study of cognition, emerging as a specific phenomenon studied under cognitive psychology.
