Research Experiences & Lines of Inquiry | ||
2003 – present | Emergic Cognitive Model Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Continuously progressing and unifying a single situated and embodied cognitive model for the entirety of cognition, starting with a cognitive agent having a visual system that moves and interacts with a dynamic environment. Emergic modeling incorporates the remainder of cognition according to the principles of the Emergic Approach. |
|
2003 – present | Emergic Approach to Unified Cognitive Modeling Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Developed a unified epistemology, ontology & metaphysics for the analysis, decomposition, synthesis and modeling of complex systems. Validated the empirical philosophizing by developing a unified cognitive model. Writing a book on the two epistemologies. |
|
2013 – present | WikiSilo Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. WikiSilo theory is a minimalist epistemology that supports a unifying discipline within academia. It is supported by the WikiSilo tool (from wikisilo.org), and Wikimergic is its first client. |
|
2013 – present | Wikimergic Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Wikimergic is derived from the Emergic Approach to unified cognitive modeling. As a product, it forms a wiki and tool that can be used for unifying analysis and synthesis. More importantly, it can demonstrate a coherence of complex distributed conceptions. As a research line of inquiry, one asks how to make the most effective tool for the sociologizing of unification. |
