MIRROR: Converging Cognitive Principles as Computational Mechanisms for AI Reasoning
arXiv CS.AI
•
ArXi:2506.00430v3 Announce Type: replace Multiple cognitive theories -- Global Workspace Theory, reconstructive episodic memory, inner speech, and complementary learning systems -- converge on a shared set of architectural principles: parallel specialized processing, integrative synthesis into a bounded unified representation, and reconstructive rather than accumulative maintenance. We test whether these converging principles provide computational advantages when implemented in AI systems.
