Cognitivization: The process of systematically rendering unconscious or implicit thoughts, assumptions, and beliefs explicit.

This involves:

Identification: Discerning patterns within one's internal dialogue, pinpointing areas of vague understanding, or where knowledge is assumed rather than examined.

Deconstruction: Breaking down identified thoughts and beliefs, analyzing their components, potential biases, and underlying origins.

Evaluation: Assessing the accuracy and validity of these thoughts based on verifiable evidence, internal consistency, and logical reasoning.

Contextualization: Applying a multi-faceted lens by incorporating emotional influences, conflicting perspectives, and wider bodies of knowledge relevant to the analyzed thought.

Reclassification: Assigning levels of certainty (or uncertainty) to the examined element, potentially reframing it with greater clarity and nuance.

Key Points:

Focus on the unconscious: Cognitivization seeks to shed light on what is often hidden beneath the surface of conscious awareness.

Rigorous methodology: It's not mere introspection, but the application of a structured method for examining one's own thinking.

Iterative process: As understanding matures, previously held thoughts may be re-examined, leading to further refinement.
