Generalized Theory of Cognitive Relativity: Bridging Philosophical Tradition, Cognitive Science, and Artificial Intelligence through Pure Reason

This research proposes Cognitive Relativity as an innovative epistemological framework, metaphorically extending Einstein’s theories of relativity to human cognition. It asserts that cognition is inherently frame-dependent, shaped by cognitive biases and contextual influences. The study reinterprets Kant’s Pure Reason, integrating insights from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, proposing a practical metacognitive methodology to systematically mitigate cognitive distortions. Emphasizing frame-shifting and metacognitive reflection, this model aims at progressively approximating objectivity by integrating multiple cognitive frames.
