Abstract

The Thoughtseeds Framework introduces a novel computational approach to modeling thought dynamics in meditative states, conceptualizing thoughtseeds as dynamic attentional agents that integrate information. This hierarchical model, structured as nested Markov blankets, comprises three interconnected levels: (i) knowledge domains as information repositories, (ii) the Thoughtseed Network where thoughtseeds compete, and (iii) meta-cognition regulating awareness. It simulates focused-attention Vipassana meditation via rule-based training informed by empirical neuroscience research on attentional stability and neural dynamics. Four states-breath_control, mind_wandering, meta_awareness, and redirect_breath-emerge organically from thoughtseed interactions, demonstrating self-organizing dynamics. Results indicate that experts sustain control dominance to reinforce focused attention, while novices exhibit frequent, prolonged mind_wandering episodes, reflecting beginner instability. Integrating Global Workspace Theory and the Intrinsic Ignition Framework, the model elucidates how thoughtseeds shape a unitary meditative experience through meta-awareness, balancing epistemic and pragmatic affordances via active inference. Synthesizing computational modeling with phenomenological insights, it provides an embodied perspective on cognitive state emergence and transitions, offering testable predictions about meditation skill development. The framework yields insights into attention regulation, meta-cognitive awareness, and meditation state emergence, establishing a versatile foundation for future research into diverse meditation practices (e.g., Open Monitoring, Non-Dual Awareness), cognitive development across the lifespan, and clinical applications in mindfulness-based interventions for attention disorders, advancing our understanding of the nature of mind and thought.

摘要

思想种子框架引入了一种全新的计算方法来对冥想状态下的思维动态进行建模,将思想种子概念化为整合信息的动态注意力主体。这个分层模型结构为嵌套的马尔可夫毯,由三个相互关联的层次组成:(i)作为信息库的知识领域,(ii)思想种子相互竞争的思想种子网络,以及(iii)调节意识的元认知。它通过基于规则的训练模拟专注注意力内观冥想,该训练以关于注意力稳定性和神经动力学的实证神经科学研究为依据。呼吸控制、思维漫游、元意识和重新引导呼吸这四种状态从思想种子的相互作用中有机地浮现出来,展示了自组织动态。结果表明,专家保持控制优势以加强专注注意力,而新手则表现出频繁且持续时间长的思维漫游发作,反映出初学者的不稳定性。该模型整合了全局工作空间理论和内在点火框架,阐明了思想种子如何通过元意识塑造统一的冥想体验,通过主动推理平衡认知和实用能力。它将计算建模与现象学见解相结合,提供了关于认知状态出现和转变的具身视角,对冥想技能发展做出了可测试的预测。该框架为注意力调节、元认知意识和冥想状态出现提供了见解,为未来对各种冥想练习(如开放监测、非二元意识)、毕生认知发展以及基于正念的注意力障碍干预临床应用的研究奠定了通用基础,推进了我们对心智和思维本质的理解。
