The Unified Dynamic Model of the Mind (UDMM): A Framework for Understanding Perception and Behavior through Prediction, Emotion, and Intention
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction: Toward an Integrated Model of the Human Mind The human mind is not a passive machine that merely captures signals; rather, it is an active, dynamic system that constantly interacts with both internal and external environments. The Unified Dynamic Model of the Mind (UDMM) presents a novel perspective that integrates prediction as a fundamental mechanism, emotion as a filter for signal evaluation, and intention as a driving force for behavior. Unlike traditional models that separate these elements or focus on them in isolation, UDMM offers a comprehensive vision of the mind as a continuous interactive arena between internal and external processes. In UDMM, the mind constructs ongoing expectations and updates them based on sensory and emotional inputs. This model paves the way for a deeper understanding of human perception and behavior.
