to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

"In
science, cognition refers to mental processes.
These processes include
attention, remembering, producing and understanding
language, solving problems, and making decisions. Cognition is
studied in various disciplines such as psychology, philosophy,
linguistics, science and computer science. Usage of the term
varies in different disciplines; for example in
psychology and
cognitive science, it usually refers to an
information processing view of an individual's
psychological
functions. It is also used in a branch of
social psychology called
social cognition to explain
attitudes,
attribution and groups dynamics.
The term cognition (Latin:
cognoscere, "to know", "to conceptualize" or "to
recognize") refers to a faculty for the processing of
information, applying knowledge, and changing preferences.
Cognition, or cognitive processes, can be natural or
artificial, conscious or unconscious. These processes are
analyzed from different perspectives within different
contexts..."
Wikipedia
In FLOW, cognition is a set of
tools that are like the cylinders of a cognitive engine.
Each has it's own cycle of "work"
running, each is important in the
recognition and
regulation process, each is tethered to the transmission
of maturation.
As the fuel of living is drawn into
the epigenetic carburation, the cylinders filling with a rich
mixture; compress--> providing the tensions needed for
cognition to emerge the experience of being, doing, having and
becoming.
