TFNR - Physical aspects of Cognitive (living and automata) Forms
Cognitive Forms - Physical aspects
Cognitive Forms are the products of cognitive activity (Cognitive Action) of Living Beings and Automata. Examples include perceptions, emotions, thoughts, memories, expressions / communications, languages, and similar entities.
Their physical aspects are represented by the bodies of Living Beings and the hardware of Automata.
Living Forms - Physical aspects
Among the Physical Forms we find the physical bodies of Living Beings. Living Forms comprise all organisms produced by the biological evolution of inorganic and organic material forms.
Every living organism - from the simplest to the most complex - features interacting and co-evolving components: a material (physical) body and a cognitive system. As evolutionary complexity increases, the cognitive component gradually assumes greater importance.
Automata Forms - Physical aspects
Among the Physical Forms are the physical structures of automata. Automata Forms consist of agents (i.e. AI agents, applications and models) produced by Living Forms (currently, only by humans, based on our present knowledge) as well as agents created by other Automata Forms.
Every automata, from the simplest to the most complex, incorporates interacting material components (hardware) and cognitive components (software).
