About This Project
Cognition Commons is an open research project exploring cognitive systems, general intelligence architectures, and the design patterns of machine cognition.
What This Is
This is a public research notebook. It documents ideas, architectures, and explorations related to building intelligent systems. Think of it as working in public — sharing the messy process of research, not just polished conclusions.
What This Isn't
This is not a company, organization, or formal institution. It's a personal research project shared openly. There's no product, no service, no fundraising. Just ideas and documentation.
Research Areas
- Cognitive Architecture — Multi-layer designs for perception, reasoning, planning, and action
- Multi-Agent Systems — Debate, consensus, and coordination between models
- Consciousness Modeling — Emotional, ethical, and metacognitive subsystems
- Memory & Temporal Reasoning — How systems remember and project into the future
- Ethics & Alignment — Multi-framework ethical reasoning
- Uncertainty Quantification — Knowing what you don't know
Philosophy
Good research happens in the open. By documenting ideas publicly, we invite scrutiny, feedback, and collaboration. The goal isn't to claim ownership of ideas, but to contribute to the collective understanding of how intelligent systems might work.
