However, the investigation of functional variances among processes, rooted in fundamental operands, remains insufficient. Recognizing this gap is crucial for unveiling the constituents of state transitions and their functional boundaries during ongoing adaptivity. To address this, our central focus is on quantifying the functional variance in the interactions of fundamental operands. This approach enables a systematic study of complex adaptive networks grounded in the dynamics of cognitive abilities, where elements adapt and evolve based on cognitive processes. To underscore this point, we emphasize translating ontologically irreducible networks into functionally representable ones at the meso-level, which is essential for assessing their effectiveness. Our active investigation during state transitions explores external interventions, aiming to shed light on mutual influences.

The analysis focused on understanding the nature of mental representations and the subjective, phenomenal qualities that emerge within experiences. To achieve this, an integrated approach, combining cognitive semantics with phenomenological analysis, was employed to examine the compositional complexities of the dynamic interaction between a priori and immediate experiences and their significance in meaning formation. The study highlights the interconnectivity of structural elements within experience as a critical factor in shaping the phenomenal qualities of mental representations. Another key contribution of this study is the introduction of the "fulfiller" concept, which underscores the importance of absent qualities in meaning formation-an often-overlooked aspect in traditional models that focus solely on present attributes. The "fulfiller" concept emphasizes how absence, in addition to presence, influences meaning assignment. This inclusion enhances our understanding of meaning formation by considering both the tangible and intangible dimensions of the experiential-intentional process, offering a more comprehensive framework for understanding how meaning emerges from the complex interaction of present and absent qualities.

Recent advancements in quantum cognition suggest that thoughts and feelings may be influenced by principles analogous to those in quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement. This paper examines the concept of emergence through destruction, a framework in which the collapse of potential emotional or cognitive states leads to the emergence of new attributes. The collapse of these states can be understood as an emergent phenomenon shaped by both intention and attention. In scenarios involving multiple potential mental states-whether in decisionmaking, perception, or thought-conscious focus serves as a selective way that transforms a superposition of possibilities into a single, actualized experience. This process, similar to the quantum observer effect, underscores that conscious attention is not a passive observation but an active force that shapes reality. Building on Bohm's interpretation of active information, this collapse is seen as not merely a reduction of potential states but an informational process that channels possibilities into concrete forms. As one cognitive experience materializes, others recede into the background, yet this selection process simultaneously fosters the emergence of new properties or cognitive patterns. This dynamic mirrors the quantum measurement process, where observation reduces possibilities and enables new forms of emergence.

Between structure and intentions ? » -15h00 Mathias GIREL -École Normale Supérieure de la rue d'Ulm The Ignorance Studies/Agnotology publications that have developed over the last two decades have addressed extremely different themes and fields, ranging from the relationship with toxic products, climate change, or secrecy to ignorance in cultural and social relationships. At this stage, it seems difficult to lump them together under a single heading, given the wide variety of styles and methodological presuppositions involved. In this talk, I shall try and give a tentative survey of this field, with a focus on recent developments. In particular, I shall address and compare two major approaches that are methodologically opposed on many points : those that include strategic and intentional motives in their explanations and consider them irreducible, and those that focus more on structural motives.

It explores the relationship between objectivity and intentional states, particularly in the context of immediate and transcendent experiences. A key focus of this paradigm is the examination of inferences and how they are held in X's intentional processes. These claims about inferences contribute to the perception of objectivity by highlighting the epistemological transitions of things that occur in the constitutive ideation. Additionally, the activity within X's episteme leads to significant articulations that reflect a structural realism of experiences. The essay also introduces a convention of the experiential-intentional process so that the causality manipulations could be avoided by the precents of sources of ideation. In this instance, the central niche is occupied by transcendental reflections of intentionality, which are fundamentally founded on experiences and objectivity, and they possess a distinct rhetorical quality. They manifest as acts, propositional forms, and constituents, all of which contribute to the understanding and justification of objectivity. To establish such a framework that upholds objectivity, certain prerequisites must be met. Firstly, the framework must possess justificational resources that prevent causality manipulations. Secondly, prereflective sources should not inter-define causality in epistemic circumstances, although this does not exclude the emergence of causal relations, and thus this approach offers a correlational explanation. Lastly, transcendental reflections should remain compatible with the experiential-intentional process, allowing for the accommodation of subjectivity in the justification of objectivity.

The essay also takes into consideration the views of Levinas and Hintikka, for whom experiences form the foundations of intuitive capacity. These perspectives are essential concerning epistemic evidence to self (I/me-ness): mental objects and spatiotemporal relations are the structural notions of episteme on their own; their dynamics were tightly coordinated at an intentional process to strengthen episteme; this coordination appeared to be a state change caused in epistemic evidence. Experience is a process that continually gives us new material to digest; Experience leads ever on and on, and objects and our ideas of objects may both lead to the same goal.

One way to overcome this difficulty is to adapt the resources of a linguistically close resource rich language. In this paper we discuss how the cost of such adaptation can be estimated using subjective and objective measures of linguistic similarity for allocating financial resources, time, manpower etc.

On the other hand, the non-cognitive character of emotion is underpinned by aspects of emotion that appeal to the distinctively unique characteristics of emotion. Damasio (1994, 2003), Oatley and Johnson-Laird (1987, 2002) follow the (William) Jamesian line of thinking in proposing that the basis of emotion is dissociated from aspects of general cognition, though emotional processing can affect and be related to categorization, memory, attention, reasoning etc. Damasio's somatic marker hypothesis (1994) makes this very explicit and precise. One of the most prominent features of this approach toward emotions is that emotions precede feelings and affective concepts, as emotions are bodily grounded and come before any feeling state, which is characterized by a perception of a state of the body along with a state of thinking and thoughts (Damasio, 2003). Prominent in all such theories is the view that emotions are states conceived of either as bodily states within the physiological substrate (non-cognitive theory) or as states of appraisal of situations, objects and events. If emotions are, by their origin or nature, states (whether bodily states or cognitive states), it would be interesting to check if they ever become events at all. In this connection, it is vital to recognize that emotions can assume the character of events when they are expressed in natural language. For example, 'We found her regretting her decision.', 'They are becoming thrilled/happy/amused/disgusted.', 'The employees were rejoicing at my appointment as the chief executive.', 'His mother is worrying about it all the time.'. 'Both of them were lusting after the actor.' etc. However, this does not license this behavior in all emotive verbs. For instance, '*They are loving/hating/disliking this action.', '*He is fearing for his life.', '*We were not desiring the power they built up.' etc. Thus, a cognitive model of the constraints determining how and where emotions as mental states are transformed into events when expressed in natural language is needed since the transformation of emotions from states into events cuts across different types of emotive verbs. In this project, the goal is to determine how this transformation takes place. Towards the end, corpus studies will be done to guide the selection of the most representative classes of emotions expressed in natural language and then psycholinguistic experiments will be conducted with both bilinguals and multilinguals to understand if transformations of emotions from states into events obtain even when more than one language is at play.

This article starts with an exploration of the fundamental aspects of judgemental sense from the knowledge origins perspective. To explain the consequences of this, I start with reconstructing the notion of categorial intuitions described in Husserl’s sixth Logical Investigations by relating it to ‘knowledge origination’ as an intuitive fulfilment of signifying acts. This offers a relation of perceptual synthesis, operating implicitly among the signifying intentions upon grasping intended objects, in view of language structures such as copulas. This leads to the synthesis of intuitive aspects mainly from the categorial elements for a judgemental sense or thinking and the attitude from the very sphere of perception. The tension between categorial intuitions is understood as foundational acts and founded acts. Husserl’s sixth Logical Investigation describes the notion of passive synthesis, the genesis of categoriality in every realm of sensibility that allows one to formulate the relational role among the ‘act of knowing’ and phenomenological approaches to the judgemental sense. Thus, the investigation focuses on perceptual judgements and categories, which fulfils the judgemental sense of categorial elements and attitude.

Put ahead, I consider Husserl’s sixth logical investigation concerning the notion of categorial intuition which has distributed carefully among the active and passive perceptual synthesis. In order to explain the results, I reconstruct the notion of categorial intuitions described in logical investigations, relating it to the obvious problem “knowledge origination is an intuitive fulfilment of signifying acts”. The categorial intuitions are originated on simple intuitions and cannot be reduced to them. The simple intuitions structurally offers a global grasping of the intended object with partial intentions which are perceptual and they blend to form a single entity. It turns to a categorical intuition with a new sort of act, or a result of ‘perceptual analysis’ between disclosed partial perceptual intentions and global perception; implicitly the operating intentions are same.

And the logical study of it flourished when the techniques of semantical notions were applied to intentional mental states to procure cognitive information for representational mental models e.g. agent-indexed quantifiers which were directly taken up by linguistics, artificial intelligence and economists (Fagin et al. 1995; Meyer and van der Hoek, 1995). At this time in human history, we had an opportunity to experience the transformation of phenomenal intentionality which is often judged to be an uncertain and terminologically top heavy set of tools for use by philosophers in science, earlier thought of by Husserl and, to a lesser extent, by Brentano who offers a methodology for a number of facets known to be important ones in the philosophy of science. As a result, this orientation of approach was applied to several problems in the philosophy of science: on the one hand, to propose the rejection of scientific objectivity, and to doctrine the radical meaning of variance in the self-referential way which fulfils the context of philosophy of science through certain earlier thoughts of phenomenologists, and on the other hand to analyse the hidden variable theory in quantum mechanics.

Thus, the investigation focuses on perceptual judgements and categories, which fulfils the judgemental sense of categorial elements and attitude.

Put ahead, I consider Husserl’s sixth logical investigation concerning the notion of categorial intuition which has distributed carefully among the active and passive perceptual synthesis. In order to explain the results, I reconstruct the notion of categorial intuitions described in logical investigations, relating it to the obvious problem “knowledge origination is an intuitive fulfilment of signifying acts”. The categorial intuitions are originated on simple intuitions and cannot be reduced to them. The simple intuitions structurally offers a global grasping of the intended object with partial intentions which are perceptual and they blend to form a single entity. It turns to a categorical intuition with a new sort of act, or a result of ‘perceptual analysis’ between disclosed partial perceptual intentions and global perception; implicitly the operating intentions are same.

And the logical study of it flourished when the techniques of semantical notions were applied to intentional mental states to procure cognitive information for representational mental models e.g. agent-indexed quantifiers which were directly taken up by linguistics, artificial intelligence and economists (Fagin et al. 1995; Meyer and van der Hoek, 1995). At this time in human history, we had an opportunity to experience the transformation of phenomenal intentionality which is often judged to be an uncertain and terminologically top heavy set of tools for use by philosophers in science, earlier thought of by Husserl and, to a lesser extent, by Brentano who offers a methodology for a number of facets known to be important ones in the philosophy of science. As a result, this orientation of approach was applied to several problems in the philosophy of science: on the one hand, to propose the rejection of scientific objectivity, and to doctrine the radical meaning of variance in the self-referential way which fulfils the context of philosophy of science through certain earlier thoughts of phenomenologists, and on the other hand to analyse the hidden variable theory in quantum mechanics.

For example, think about unicorns, flying saucers, lilliputs, etc.; they really don’t exist physically. If this all seems intuitive and it is logically impossible to have a thought without any referents, that is, unconditionally, a thought is a thought of something. It reminds me of the notion of false belief by Socrates in Plato’s Theaetetus: how can one think falsely given that one's own thinking necessitates that something is a thought? This is a condition: “if and if a false belief is defined as thinking that which is not”.

Whereas in the philosophical literature sublimity has been treated very differently, by reading some parts of Kant's Critique of Judgement one may be inclined to view it as subjectivist position, although others have considered it to be other position. There are also studies supported both positions, and most of the theories have neglected this phenomenological positions. I attempt to show from a position on how sublimity is an intrinsic cognitive structure that mediates between emotional responses in terms of when one experiencing of aesthetics.
