Cognitive Maps and Regimes of Mental Functioning: Predictive Systems, Integration, the Organization Experience

Cognitive Maps and Regimes of Mental Functioning >T-Reality Series - Volume 10 >This volume examines how cognitive systems construct stability, continuity, and coherence through predictive regulation, distributed integration, and dynamic self-organization. Combining philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience, predictive processing, embodied cognition, and neurophilosophy, the book develops a systematic analysis of cognitive regimes: operational configurations through which the brain organizes perception, attention, salience, bodily regulation, self-modeling, and narrative continuity. Rather than treating the mind as the expression of a fixed and ontologically autonomous self, the volume interprets cognition as an emergent process of inferential coordination distributed across predictive systems, attentional networks, embodied structures, and large-scale cognitive architectures. The book explores: - cognitive maps and predictive organization - attentional systems and salience regulation - self-model stabilization and narrative identity - cognitive rigidity and inferential consolidation - plasticity and large-scale reconfiguration - functional decoupling and adaptive transformation - global integration and cognitive coherence >Engaging with the work of Karl Friston, Andy Clark, Thomas Metzinger, Stanislas Dehaene, Shaun Gallagher, Bernard Baars, Giulio Tononi, Olaf Sporns, and other leading thinkers in contemporary cognitive science, the volume proposes a neurocognitive framework for understanding the architecture of subjective experience. Part of the T-Reality project, this work contributes to an interdisciplinary investigation of consciousness, predictive cognition, self-organization, and the neurocognitive structures underlying the construction of experience.
