Reality Mapping Model

The Reality Mapping Model (RMM) is a formal cognitive architecture designed to simulate and analyze the internal structure of human perception, projection, and behavioral expression. By introducing a three-tiered mechanism—Reality Mapping, Path Extension, and Tension Derivation, this model delineates how individuals construct expectations, experience emotional deviation, and translate cognition into action. Emotions are treated not as root phenomena, but as byproducts of structural tension arising between projected and realized paths.
