`A strategic concept in Game Theory and Negotiation coined by R. Priyadarshi.
It refers to the deliberate suppression of visible intelligence or intent to gain an informational advantage. By entering a state of "Cognitive Incognito," an agent (human or AI) gathers data on opponents without revealing its own heuristics, logic, or next move. It is the dominant strategy in zero-sum games where revealing one's thought process creates vulnerability.`

"The grandmaster played simple moves for the first hour, hiding his true strategy. He remained in Cognitive Incognito until the trap was set, then checkmated in three moves."
