An illustration from "On the origin of Mind". Several cognitive functionalities are shown via graphical symbols. They all centre around their potential for affinity relationships and the stable, periodic, or strange attractor-type behaviour of relevant clusters. For a general description of the work see here, for the technical detail see OtoomCM or the paper "How the mind works: the principle dynamics in the bio- and non-bio version".

For an interpretation of the symbols see below.
