Hello all,

This is an attempt to resurrect my now [defunct Wordpress blog](https://cogitecture.wordpress.com/), that I started back when I was a university student. I have managed to grow older and hopefully mature a bit since then and my desire to put my thoughts into words has once again been rekindled. I have a couple of blog posts in the works, but for now, I will leave you with a slightly revised version of the introductory blog post from my old blog, as I still like it and still think that it reflects my way of thinking:

<h1>Welcome to the Cogitecture!</h1>

The word ‘cognitecture” is created from the words ‘cognition’ and ‘architecture’. Cognition originates from the Latin word ‘cogito’, which is translated to ‘I think’, but where the Latin original is concerned with the immediate act of thinking, the English noun describes more of a process over time: It is a sum of several ‘cogito’ moments, or in other words, the process of, or more importantly, the act of knowing, and not just thinking.

Architecture we all know. As an enthusiastic Latin student in high school and as a lover of big cities as well, the word architecture conjures up a myriad of images from the majestic arches and temples of ancient Rome to the the immense minimalist temples of glass and steel, that are the skyscrapers of magnificent modern Tokyo. Architecture is the process of combining elements in a structure to create a whole. Architecture is the essence of structuring and organizing incarnated. consistent unity are keywords in architecture – if an element is faulty or wrongly structured, it affects the whole superstructure.

Architecture is mostly associated with buildings, but through my sentient life and development, I quickly realized, that the key concepts of architecture are easily applied to our minds as well. It seems logical enough; we organize the information at hand, draw whatever conclusions we can from those, and thus we construct our cognitional superstructure. We grow older, experience more things, and acquire more information, and maybe we reach the conclusion that some of our prior assumptions where wrong. In such cases, we expand our superstructure, organize our newly acquired knowledge along with our old, in order to draw new conclusions and reach new insights. This is the system of the cogitecture. The cogitecture serves us, and present to us new knowledge. Within the cogitecture, every scrap of information can be stored and put to good use. Information becomes dangerous at the moment we refuse to incorporate newly acquired elements of insight in the cognitional superstructure, and let faulty elements remain in the cognitional superstructure instead of replacing them.
