CAUSAL–DETERMINIST
Follow a chain
Seven explicit states form a directional chain. Step advances exactly one state; playback uses the same transition.
Cognitive Dynamics Studio
Four different ways of modeling cognition.
Explore four interactive computational interpretations through large, visual simulations. Pause them, step through their states, change speed, inspect live metrics, or open a model fullscreen.
Enter the simulation studio ↓01 · Live simulation studio
See all four simulations
Each model has a distinct visual language. The color identifies the model, while the state panel explains what is happening.
02 · How they work
What each visualization actually models
DIALECTICAL–ALGORITHMIC
Hold opposites together
Thesis and antithesis converge on contradiction, then move through synthesis, rule formation and algorithmic iteration.
HOLOGRAPHICAL–PANORAMIC
Change the viewpoint
The central object remains stable while the active projection rotates through six perspectives.
VORTICAL–SYNERGETIC
Watch a dynamic field
Alternatives fluctuate around an attractor; field density, attraction and feedback are explicit state variables.
03 · Experiment studio
Reproduce a computer-model run
A reproducible run means that the same model version, seed and transition rules produce the same discrete state sequence. It does not establish empirical validity of the underlying theory.
04 · Scientific integrity
Source, implementation and evidence are separated.
Source-derived
The four names, terminology and conceptual framing are presented as source-derived material.
Original implementation
Numerical state variables, transition rules, particles, trajectories, metrics and visual metaphors are software choices in this website.
Evidence boundary
These are educational simulations, not psychological tests, diagnoses, neuroscience models or validated measures of individual cognition.
How to read the display
A particle, score, trajectory or state label is an output of the computational model. It should not be treated as empirical evidence that the underlying framework predicts human cognition.

Make the studio easier to see and control
Reduced motion stops automatic animation. You can still advance every model manually with Step.
