New Cognitive Architecture Proposed: Sensation Modulating Network

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have proposed a new cognitive architecture called the Sensation Modulating Network (SMN) to bridge the gap between cognitivism and 4E approaches in cognitive science. The SMN posits that the entire body functions as a cognitive agent, organized by opponent dynamics and built from Sensation Modulators. Key to this model is 'haltability,' where antagonistic affordances co-activate to enable attention and intentional directedness, and dual-signal action patterns that structurally distinguish self from world. This framework aims to reconcile recursion within embodied cognition by locating generative capabilities within architectural transitions across a four-level action-pattern hierarchy. AI

    The Sensation Modulating Network:Haltability as the architectural ground for object-directed phenomenology

    arXiv:2605.26856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cognitive science remains split between cognitivism - which accounts for recursion and language but cannot ground formal symbols in meaning - and 4E approaches - which ground cognition in the body but rarely specify the body's arc…
