Network_Based_Multi_Axial_Cognitive_Framework.pdf

A theoretical framework proposing that neural organization follows three orthogonal axes: control direction (η), temporal processing (τ), and processing mode (α). These axes generate eight distinct cognitive quadrants corresponding to specific brain networks, which combine into ten functional streams. The framework provides testable predictions for consciousness research and psychiatric disorders, offering a bridge between mathematical theories and neurobiological implementation. Includes detailed neural mappings, clinical applications, and experimental validation protocols
