# Mind
**Status:** provisional
**Working gloss:** Mind = Model (adaptive control through models)
## Working definition
The **Mind** is the adaptive control and model-building dimension of a Being.
It constructs actionable representations of self, environment, other beings,
relationships, intentions, possible futures, and consequences of action.
Models change through interaction. **Co-adaptive model building** is mutual,
recursive modeling among interacting beings.
## Notes for research
- Prefer model-based control over intelligence or consciousness alone as the
primary foundation for Mind in Soul Frame.
- Connect to cybernetics, predictive processing, active inference, theory of mind.
## Open issues
- Definition of "model" precise enough for crosswalk.
- Embodied vs purely informational modeling.
