The Universal Cognitive Framework: Limits, Stabilization, and Robustness

This framework presents a rigorous analysis of human cognition, highlighting its intrinsic limitations and the role of information stabilization in understanding and knowledge acquisition. Cognition is constrained by evolutionary and biological factors, and scientific progress is bounded not by reality itself but by the limits of cognitive capacity. Tools and artificial intelligence can amplify cognitive reach but cannot surpass these fundamental constraints. The framework’s robustness stems from its foundational assumptions, which are logically coherent and resistant to internal critique. Attempts to replace or modify these assumptions encounter fundamental obstacles, including the difficulty of defining new foundational principles and maintaining coherence within an alternative framework. This work provides a unified perspective on the boundaries of human cognition, the scope of scientific knowledge, and the structural constraints on theory formation.
