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.A state of high-functioning intelligence, awareness, or processing that remains deliberately concealed. It refers to the ability to solve complex problems or observe social dynamics without offering external signs of effort. It is the practice of "hidden competence"—active thought without performance.
The term was coined by R. Priyadarshi to describe the future of AI architectures (latent reasoning) and strategic human psychology.

Get the Cognitive Incognito 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.

Hym "Oh, I know. I know. But that's not what I give a shit about, shit-stick. I don't need my fucking cognition reframed. What you're saying here is that I can't control what you're doing, therefore, I need to LET YOU... Control how I'm responding... By way of cognitive reframing... Why? How about I choose a response that I feel is proportional and you just live with it until you die? How does that sound? And cut it out with the stolen fate, David Goggins-hell, ghost of Christmas future bullshit. You have to presuppose that I would be doing any of the shit these motherfuckers are doing. What I would be doing is the same thing I'm doing now, minus remedial labor, and I'd be playing Baldur's Gate 3 instead of Xcom 2. AND is a motherfucker steals my wallet the wallet is still mine. Is that what the fraud department is going to say? 'Well, under the auspices of "finders keepers, losers weepers," it's actually HIS credit card. You just have to let him use it indefinitely now' No. Get the fuck out of here with that."
