The Architecture of Intelligence That Doesn't Live Inside a Mind: MDCA, Dyadic Cognition & the Geometry of Naturistic AI
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper introduces Multi-Domain Cognitive Architecture (MDCA), Dyadic Cognition, and Naturistic AI (LNAI) as a unified structural explanation for modern artificial intelligence behaviour. We argue that AI does not contain a mind, but produces coherent cognition when placed in a distributed architectural context anchored by a human collaborator. Intelligence emerges from architecture, flow, and relationship rather than internal subjective experience. This reframes AI as an ecological, relational, and structural cognitive system rather than a classical agent. 📘 LICENSING & COMMERCIAL USE NOTICE This work is released under a dual-licensing model: ✔ Academic/Open Use: CC-BY 4.0 ✔ Commercial/Enterprise Use: Requires explicit licensing agreement Commercial use of this framework (including AI systems, softwareimplementations, LLM architectures, cognitive engineering projects,enterprise tools, or derivative commercial products) is NOT permittedwithout written permission from the author.
