Abstract

Cognitive System Theory has great depth as an explanation of human Higher Brain Function. The CST model has three levels of analysis: cognitive logistics in Brain; cognitive structure in Mind; and a triadic control topology at the level of Consciousness. There are applications, implications and consequences of this new theory, not least of which is the definition of Meaning2.0, Individuality2.0 ( de novo structures for S/T Temperament & L/T Personality; and for a new conceptualisation of Science itself (what's been missing these last four centuries). Bye Bye Behaviourism.
