Description
This monograph develops a unified geometric theory of cognition by reinterpreting Construal Level Theory within the formal frameworks of Cognitive Field Theory (CFT) and the General Theory of Signature Space (GTSS). Departing from classical representational models, cognition is modeled asa structured field composed of a local kernel and a global potential, whose interaction defines decision, meaning, and abstraction. The central claim is that psychological distance is equivalent to a renormalization scale. Increasing distance acts as a coarse-graining operator on the cognitive field, suppressing local detail and amplifying global invariants. Within this framework, construal levels are reinterpreted as phaseregimes in signature space, with the phase parameter governing transitions betweenlocal (concrete) and global (abstract) cognition. Abstraction is thus defined formally as invarianceunder scale transformation, rather than as a primitive cognitive operation.
