The Cogniventive Framework Generalized

(Note: This is the “How it Works” for Cogniventus: A 10 stage SEQUENCE with 3 LAYERS at each stage)

The seed for this interactive Meta-Process Framework was planted back in the 1970’s while I was participating in an experimental “Discovery Method” at Norfolk Catholic High School. Beyond just an accumulation of facts, Knowledge was seen as something with which the student had a relationship of varying degree and depth. The Path to Knowledge was never travelled alone, and one’s relationship with others along the Path was considered to be part of the Learning Process.

As the decades passed, from this simple core idea I added Scientific, Engineering, and Historical tools to create what first looked like nothing more than a simple table for organizing information. It was only when I began to weave in Addiction and Recovery Information was its dynamism revealed to me. As the Meta-Process Roadmap turned its attention to Science & Technology and Education & the Economy, I continued to be surprised at is explanatory power.

For introductory purposes, we have activated only the first Twelve Modules.

To see Addiction-Recovery as a Meta-Process, see Our Cogniventive Framework for Addiction-Recovery.

The Cogniventive Framework
Process Challenges	Meta-Process Responses
Process Challenges	A Investigating an Unfamiliar Process	B Troubleshooting a Failing Process	C Creating Your Own Process
Observation	1. Does the Process give a full and accurate description of the Problem?	1. Observe The Problem & Explain It	1. What Is Happening To Me?
Origins	2. Does the Process correctly analyze the Root Causes of the Problem ?	2. Discover Causes, Conditions, & Effects	2. How Did I Get Into This Situation?
Endings	3. Does the Process propose a Way to Remove the Problem at its Source?	3. Propose A Solution	3. Is There A Way Out?
Means	4. Does the Process outline in a clear and unambiguous language how to move from the problem to the solution?	4. Design, Develop, & Execute A Means To Implement The Solution	4. Where Do I Begin?
Risk	5. Does the Process school the practitioner and the provider in all known Risks & Alerts inherent in the Process?	5. Manage Risk	5. Is It Worth The Risk?
Progress	6. Does the Process provide a means to gauge one’s advancement along the Transformational Pathway?	6. Monitor Progress	6. What Milestones Must I Pass?
Decline	7. Does the Process provide guidelines for troubleshooting the process when it fails?	7. Troubleshoot Setbacks	7. How Do I Stay On Track?
Completion	8. Does the Process demonstrate that the quantity and quality of the Transformation was as expected?	8. Finalize Results	8. How is The Process Completed?
Transmission	9. Does the Process clearly define methods for the safe and accurate distribution of the process?	9. Transfer Technology	9. Can this Process be Taught To Another?
Transition	10. Does the Process assist the participant in their return to normal living?	10. Navigate Transitions	10. Where Do We Go From Here?
