Relevance Realization: The Dance of Assimilation and Accommodation
The brain constantly oscillates between assimilation and accommodation, integrating and differentiating information to optimize its adaptive fit with the environment. This process, known as relevance realization, involves self-organizing criticality and small-world network formation. By breaking out of goal-focused attention, the brain explores diverse perspectives and frames, leading to complexification and integration. The instinct for meaning signals this dynamic process, as it guides the expansion and organization of the brain's category system. Self-organizing criticality and small-world network wiring are mutually reinforcing processes, supporting consciousness and enabling insight. The brain's predictive processing mechanism involves precision weighting and selective attention, helping to prioritize error signals and generative models. This convergence of theories around relevance realization and predictive processing provides a holistic framework for understanding the dynamic nature of consciousness and the intricate relationship between the subjective and objective realms.
