Description

A Cognitive Field Theory of Meaning, Action and Social Dynamics. This monograph develops a unified framework for the analysis of human action by introducinga field-theoretic representation of decision, meaning, and interaction. The central claim is thataction cannot be adequately described as the outcome of a function or a discrete choice, but mustinstead be understood as a trajectory within a structured field of possibilities. The framework builds on and extends the insights of Operant Response Theory of Social Interactions, which introduced a dynamic perspective on behavior based on reinforcementprocesses. While that approach captures local adaptation, it lacks a representation of globalstructure. The present work generalizes this perspective by embedding local dynamics within aglobal geometric framework.
