Definition: The sudden conscious awareness of a thought, action, or process that was already happening subconsciously — like your brain “tuning in” after the fact.
Example: I didn’t notice I’d been tapping my foot during the meeting until halfway through — that’s pure radio cognition.

Get the Radio Cognition mug.Cognitive Superposition is the state in which a belief, thought, or perception exists as a probability field rather than a definitive truth or falsehood. It remains fluid—existing somewhere between faith and skepticism, certainty and doubt—until an external force (experience, discussion, crisis, reflection) collapses it into a more definite stance.
This suggests that beliefs are not static, but dynamic, and the process of thinking itself is inherently quantum-like. Just as quantum particles exist in multiple states until observed, ideas and beliefs exist in a nebulous, fluctuating state until they are subjected to the forces of experience and perception.
Cognitive Superposition recognizes:
The fluidity of knowledge and belief.
That absolute certainty is often an illusion, as understanding is always in flux.
That shifts in perspective can occur naturally or be induced by external catalysts.
That thought itself is a probabilistic process, where multiple interpretations or realities can coexist until narrowed down through interaction with the self or the external world.
This framework acknowledges the paradox that while we seek definitive knowledge, our understanding is always evolving through interaction and reflection, creating a dynamic interplay between openness and resolution.

In the midst of the heated debate, Sarah experienced cognitive superposition, holding her belief about the issue in a fluid state, uncertain whether to trust her instincts or consider the new arguments presented until a conversation with a close friend helped her clarify her stance.
