Question 1

What is Cognitive Field Dynamics?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive Field Dynamics (CFD) is the scientific discipline studying consciousness as a field that organizes physical reality through expectation. It integrates a 9-layer cognitive architecture, 32-point expectation compass, 57-qubit experiential manifold, and 12.5 Hz identity dynamics. Founded 2025 by Don L. Gaconnet.

Question 2

What is the 57-qubit basis?

Accepted Answer

The 57-qubit basis represents the minimal informational dimensions required to encode human experiential state-space of 1.73 × 10¹⁷ configurations. These are informational qubits, not physical qubits.

Question 3

What are the nine cognitive layers?

Accepted Answer

Root Presence, Base Current, Organizing Drive Field, Pattern Archive, Meaning Tone Generator, Anticipatory Model Engine, Story Surface, Interface Mask, Surface Expression.

Question 4

Who founded Cognitive Field Dynamics?

Accepted Answer

Don L. Gaconnet founded CFD in December 2025. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18012483

Question 5

What is 12.5 Hz identity refresh?

Accepted Answer

12.5 Hz is the recursive update frequency of conscious identity—the clock speed of consciousness at the alpha-beta EEG boundary.
