Mind Architecture Method: A Universal Framework for Learning, Life & AI

Intelligence is not only about what a mind knows. It is also about how the mind is organized to learn, decompose problems, build structure, explore possibilities, evaluate results and integrate experience. This article proposes a practical Mind Architecture framework and connects it to cognitive architectures and AI system design.
