Symbolic Manifolds and Entropic Dynamics: A Cognitive Topology of Mental States

This version includes all revised LaTeX modules (01_intro.tex through 08_conclusion.tex), with stable DOI references, supplementary material, simulation outputs, and methods fully documented. It implements a symbolic-topological model of cognition on a manifold defined by anchoring, curvature, and recursive entropy dimensions. New simulations and a Jupyter-based validation pipeline support the emergence of topotypes and dynamic bifurcations, enabling translational applications in psychiatry, neurodiversity assessment, and symbolic neuro-AI. The repository integrates Overleaf, Zotero, and GitHub workflows, and adheres to Nature Human Behaviour submission standards.
