Cognitive Architectonics: Core Propositions, Research Questions, and Pilot Directions

This working paper, Cognitive Architectonics: Toward a Structured Evolution of Human–AI Cognition, introduces Cognitive Architectonics, a proposed emerging field dedicated to the structural design, coupling, and evolution of cognition. Anchored in the SEOR v3.0 evolutionary bases—Cognitive Flow, Principles-Driven Systems, and Digital Cognitive Habitats—within the Layered ORBIT++ framework, it outlines three core propositions, twelve research questions, and three pilot studies. The aim is generative: to establish a framework that is testable, unifying, and open to design interventions. By staking this early claim, the paper invites scholars, practitioners, and institutions to co-create a research community and lay the foundation for a forthcoming manifesto. 本文提出新兴学科“认知架构学”,以SEOR v3.0三大演化基座和Layered ORBIT++框架为核心,提出三大命题、十二个研究问题和三个试点方案,旨在构建可验证、可统一、可设计干预的分析框架。
