Slow Cognition: The Curated Mind
Every Mind A Curated Mind
One week ago, I wrote a short note about “the Curated Mind” on Linkedin.
In the past several days, I continuously worked on the idea. Finally, I designed the following diagram yesterday. The new diagram uses Proximal Mind and Pervasive Mind to form a nested whole.
This is the model of the Curated Mind which is defined as an Anticipatory Activity System. As a system, the Curated Mind has two parts: Proximal Mind and Pervasive Mind.
This model adopted the ecological approach to reflect on the Mind. While Proximal Mind corresponds to Proximal Contexts, Pervasive Mind corresponds to Pervasive Mind.
- Proximal Contexts (Proximal Mind)
- Pervasive Contexts (Pervasive Mind)
A special meta-theory behind the model is Curativity Theory. The term Curativity refers to turning pieces into a meaningful whole. The Curated Mind means the ideal status of the mind. If a person claims that her or his mind is a meaningful whole, then she or he can understand the world as a meaningful whole.
