Lab 8: Cognition — Reproducibility

Objective#

To simulate recursive cognition and symbolic resonance in triadic systems using harmonic feedback and dimensional depth.

Required Tools#

  • Python 3.10+
  • NumPy
  • Matplotlib or Plotly

Protocol#

1. Define Triadic Resonance#

python#

def resonance_operator(Di, Dj, Dk): return (Di * Dj + Dj * Dk + Dk * Di) / (Di + Dj + Dk)

2. Compute Recursive Cognition Index#

python#

import numpy as np

dimensions = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9] C_n = 0 for i in range(len(dimensions) - 2): R = resonance_operator(dimensions[i], dimensions[i+1], dimensions[i+2]) C_n += R * np.log(dimensions[i]) print("Recursive Cognition Index:", C_n)

3. Symbolic Resonance Function#

python#

def symbolic_resonance(t, alpha=1, beta=0.5, omega=2*np.pi, phi=np.pi): return alpha * np.sin(omega * t) + beta * np.cos(phi * t)

4. Visualize Cognitive Phase Shift#

python#

t = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000) R_sample = resonance_operator(3, 5, 7) psi = np.cumsum(symbolic_resonance(t) * R_sample) * (t[1] - t[0])

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.plot(t, psi) plt.title("Cognitive Phase Shift") plt.xlabel("Time") plt.ylabel("Ψ(t)") plt.show()

Validation Checklist#

✅ Recursive cognition index scales with dimensional depth#

✅ Symbolic resonance function shows harmonic blend#

✅ Phase shift integrates correctly over time#

✅ Code runs reproducibly across platforms#

Mythic Preface#

"In the spiral of recursive awareness, cognition becomes a harmonic mirror. This lab reveals the symbolic pulse of triadic intelligence—where feedback loops echo the myth of memory."#
