These are David’s primary active research projects:
| Project | Ontologizing% | Epistemizing% | Tool | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emergic Cognitive Model (ECM) | 90% | 10% | – | A unified cognitive model for visual processing based on an Emergic Network and guided by the Emergic Approach. |
| Emergic Network (EN) | 20% | 80% | Python | A massively recurrent (and dynamic) computational architecture for cognitive information processing without stipulating cognitive constraints or oversimplifications. To be used according to the Emergic Approach. |
| Emergic Cognitive System (ECS) | 20% | 80% | Python | Embeds cognitive models in virtual agents (persons) situated in virtual environments (worlds) for non-representational real-time interaction as required by the Emergic Approach. |
| WikiSilo | 20% | 80% | MediaWiki, misc | A minimalist epistemizing theory for progressing (and disciplining) science and a tool for facilitating this. Housed in the master root level (0) WikiSilo named Wikisilo. |
| Emergic Approach (EA) | 50% | 50% | ECS, EN, WikiSilo | A fundamental epistemizing/ontologizing theory, based on open-form thinking, for unifying everything, but specifically geared for all aspects of cognition. Housed in a top-level WikiSilo named Wikimergic. |
| Wikimergic | 30 | 70 | WikiSilo | A top level (1) WikiSilo that houses the Emergic Approach to unifying science, academia, and beyond. More details and examples of use, so adds to the epistemology of the Emergic Approach. Also, historizing of alternatives so adds impact of the Emergic Approach. |
| WikiECM | 70 | 30 | WikiSilo, Python | A 2nd level WikiSilo that houses the Emergic Cognitive Model (or ECM). More detail and examples of use, so adds to the epistemology of ECM. Also, historizing of alternatives so adds impact of ECM. |
