Cognitive infrastructure

the collection of cognitive agents and their interrelated lifecycle stages that function as a system requiring strategic attention allocation based on each agent's developmental phase

Why This Is a Definition

This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'cognitive infrastructure' by identifying its genus (collection of cognitive agents) and differentia (interrelated lifecycle stages requiring strategic attention allocation). It distinguishes this concept from individual agents or cognitive processes by emphasizing the systemic nature and strategic management requirements.
