Cognition as communication act
Alignement formulated as a branch of linguistics and philosophy of knowledge, that goes beyond the traditional study of language as a system of signs, grammatical structures and syntax. It focuses on the dynamic processes of formation, transmission and transformation of semantic and conceptual constructs that underlie human thinking and communication. Alignement is based on the idea that the processes of thinking, formulating, and interpreting concepts can be described using tools borrowed from conceptual modeling and domain-specific languages (DSLs), thus achieving rigor and formalization at a level previously unattainable in traditional approaches.
A key feature of alignement is the transition from abstract, philosophical concepts to concrete objects and relationships borrowed from computer science. Here, comparison, analogy and correlation between elements of cognitive processes and strictly defined models take place, which leads to the creation of a “closed system of rules” for describing and analyzing human processes and states.
Alignement point of view is interdisciplinary approach that combines the study of linguistic, cognitive, communicative and reasoning processes, using models and terminology borrowed from computer science and conceptual modeling.
It's also successfully applied in practical tasks requiring precise management of information flows and knowledge transformation processes.
Thus, Alignement paradigm is open new perspective on knowledge formalisation, cognitive verification and communication management.
