# Mind
|
|
|
|
**Status:** retained / refined (Phase II, 2026-08-12)
|
|
**Working gloss:** Mind = Model (adaptive control through models)
|
|
**See also:** H3, H4, RQ3, RN-001, RN-006, `research/cognitive-science/mind-as-model-map.md`
|
|
|
|
## Working definition
|
|
|
|
The adaptive modeling and regulatory dimension of a Being: how it constructs and
|
|
revises models of itself, others, environment, and relationships, and uses them
|
|
to guide action.
|
|
|
|
> **Mind = Model**
|
|
|
|
“Model” means an **action-guiding structure that can be revised**, not only
|
|
explicit propositional representation.
|
|
|
|
## Precedents
|
|
|
|
| Tradition | Contribution |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Ashby; Conant & Ashby 1970 | regulation requires a model |
|
|
| Predictive processing / active inference | generative models unite perception and action |
|
|
| Inverse planning (Baker et al.) | Other-Model as inference from behavior |
|
|
| Extended / distributed cognition | Mind not confined to one substrate |
|
|
| Social cognition (RN-006) | self/other/relation models co-adapt through interaction |
|
|
|
|
## Social Mind model families
|
|
|
|
| ID | Model |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| SM1 | World |
|
|
| SM2 | Self |
|
|
| SM3 | Other |
|
|
| SM4 | Reflected-Self |
|
|
| SM5 | Relationship |
|
|
| SM6 | Shared Situation |
|
|
| SM7 | Common Ground |
|
|
| SM8 | Generalized Social |
|
|
|
|
Social Mind is a specialization of Mind for multi-Being interaction — not a
|
|
second kind of mind.
|
|
|
|
## Co-adaptive model building
|
|
|
|
Joint evolution of models through interaction (not model exchange). Models can
|
|
be self-confirming or self-defeating because they change the evidence stream.
|
|

|
## Quality metrics (beyond accuracy)
|
|
|
|
Calibration, revisability, differentiation of counterparts, perspective
|
|
separation (mine / yours / yours-of-mine).
|
|
|
|
## Crosswalk (Phase II)
|
|
|
|
| Adjacent term | Similarity | Difference |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| generative model (PP) | action-guiding predictive structure | PP often neural-centric |
|
|
| theory of mind | other-modeling | ToM often private; Social Mind is interactional |
|
|
| common ground | shared acceptance | one model family (SM7), not whole Mind |
|
|
| participatory sense-making | interaction constitutes understanding | may reject “model” vocabulary |
|
|
|
|
## Open issues
|
|
|
|
- OQ-055 precise scope of “model”
|
|
- Recursive depth for personhood (OQ-056)
|
|
- Collective Mind boundaries (OQ-067)
