Computational cognition
Encyclopedia
Computational cognition is the study of the computational basis of learning and inference by mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and behavioral experiments, seeking to learn the basis behind the processing of information.

To make cognition
Cognition
In science, cognition refers to mental processes. These processes include attention, remembering, producing and understanding language, solving problems, and making decisions. Cognition is studied in various disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science...

 computable, the following tasks should be addressed first:
  • How to define the states and the metric systems of cognition.
  • How to measure a cognition.


In 2004, Tao Yang
Tao Yang (Wuxi)
Tao Yang is a computer scientist. He attended Tongji University, where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1990 and his Master's degree in 1993. He has invented fuzzy cellular neural networks in 1995,computational verb in 1997,...

 suggested a way to put cognition into a framework that is dual to the universe
Universe
The Universe is commonly defined as the totality of everything that exists, including all matter and energy, the planets, stars, galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space. Definitions and usage vary and similar terms include the cosmos, the world and nature...

. He called such a framework the cognition, and called the Universe-Cognition pair the Unicogse.

Theory of the Unicogse

The theory of the Unicogse provides a way to assign "measurable" means to the foundations of cognition: information and truth.
  • Information plays the same role in the Cognition as matter plays in the universe.
  • Truth plays the same role in the Cognition as energy plays in the universe.


By doing so, we expect to measure truth and information in the cognition just like we do for energy and matter in the universe. This is a way to make cognition "measurable".
