# Mind
|
|
|
|
**Status:** retained / refined (Phase I, 2026-08-12)
|
|
**Working gloss:** Mind = Model (adaptive control through models)
|
|
**See also:** H3, H4, RQ3, RN-001, RN-006
|
|
|
|
## 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.

## Precedents
|
|
|
|
| Tradition | Contribution |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Ashby cybernetics | regulation, variety |
|
|
| Conant & Ashby 1970 | good regulator requires a model |
|
|
| Extended / distributed cognition | Mind not confined to a single substrate |
|
|
| Social cognition (RN-006) | self/other/relation models co-adapt through interaction |
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Prefer model-based control over intelligence or consciousness as foundation.
|
|
- “Model” should not be restricted to explicit propositional representation only
|
|
(enactive critiques remain open — OQ-055).
|
|
- Co-adaptive model building is joint evolution through interaction, not model exchange.
|
|
|
|
## Open issues
|
|
|
|
- Minimal model apparatus for a Mind
|
|
- Recursive depth for social personhood
|
|
- Collective / distributed Mind boundaries (TE-05)
