Periodic Table of Cognition

This is much folk psychology with some correct affinities/"functions" that neuroscience has identified and studies.

For the skinny on where cognition really is at, here's Gyuri Buzsaki's short but sweet The Brain—Cognition Behavior Problem:

"It suggests 49 elements, arranged in a table"

The table has 56 elements.

The idea of a "periodic table" of cognition is cool. A brave attempt. I remember Douglas Copeland had one on the inside cover of "Shampoo Planet" that sorta captured the attitude of some post genXers.

https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/philosopherszone/are-... is an interview with Timothy Bayne, Professor in the School of Philosophical, Historical and Indigenous Studies at Monash University, Melbourne, and Co-Director of the Brain, Mind and Consciousness project.

It's got some very interesting takes on the question of when cognition starts and how Philosophers think about it, ideate it as a concept, with a side-journey into ascribing AI systems with consciousness.

I stopped reading when I saw the table was generated by ChatGPT.
