A meta-framework examining how the cognitive sciences themselves stretch across disciplines, methods, and paradigms. The Elasticity of Cognitive Sciences studies how the field has evolved—from cybernetics to cognitive psychology to neuroscience to embodied cognition—and how its boundaries stretch under pressure from new research, new technologies, new questions. It asks: what are the limits of the cognitive sciences' stretch? When does stretching become dilution? How does the field recover from its own reductions? It's cognitive science reflecting on its own history and possibilities.
Theory of the Elasticity of Cognitive Sciences "Cognitive science started with computers as metaphor; now it includes embodiment, emotion, culture. Theory of the Elasticity of Cognitive Sciences says that's a stretch—a healthy one. The question is whether the field can stretch further—to include more of what makes us human—without breaking into pieces."

Pronounced Sci-gence. One who practices scigence is referred to as a scigenist. A Scigenist puts forward statements not suported by data so long as the political agenda succeeds.
Scigence today is illustrated by go-along to get-along scientists who sign on to global social engineering plans without first reviewing the hard data. Good examples would be the fashionable notion that Global Warming is man's fault and we can fix the cliamate.
