Cognitive Self-Modeling
How thinking is structured, sharpened, and kept from looping on itself.
- 001Mental Models
The compressed maps you use to act before you have the information. You use them whether you name them or not; the ones you can't see are the ones you can't fix. Naming makes them debuggable.
- 002Cognitive Clarity
Thought, language, and action pointing the same way. Manufactured by writing down what you actually think and killing the sentences that collapse under scrutiny — a practice with a paper trail, not a trait.
- 003Overthinking Loop
Rehearsing the same problem instead of deciding it. Feels like work, produces nothing — fear disguised as unresolved information, breaking only when a deadline makes inaction cost more than being wrong.
- 004Reframing
Changing the frame around a fact so the same fact produces a different response. Not denial — a more accurate or useful interpretation. The frame decides what you do next; over time, what you do next is who you become.

Cognition is the engine under identity and communication. This domain covers the mental models you use to predict the world, the clarity that lets thought and action agree, the reframes that change what a fact means, and the loops that trap thinking inside itself.
