A Framework for Meta-Cognitive Science

This paper proposes a framework for Meta-Cognitive Science, a new interdisciplinary field that investigates how human cognitive structures shape our descriptions of physical reality. It addresses three core questions: (1) whether physical descriptions depend on observer scales, (2) whether human cognition imposes inherent limits on accessing "objective" reality, and (3) whether physical laws can be understood as relationships between observers and the universe rather than properties of the universe itself. The framework integrates insights from physics, cognitive science, philosophy, and traditional Chinese thought, and outlines a research methodology based on conceptual modeling, cross-disciplinary integration, and logical consistency. It serves as both a foundational document and an invitation for further exploration.
