Publications

LACS House presents a selected archive of publications connected to its wider conceptual landscape. These works extend beyond the essay series into more formal contributions, external publications, and public-facing research. Each publication develops a particular aspect of cognition, structure, aesthetics, ethics, coexistence, or the evolving relation between human and artificial intelligence.

The archive is intentionally selective. It does not aim to record every text, but to preserve the works that have reached a form suitable for wider circulation and that belong naturally within the intellectual atmosphere of LACS House.

Current Publications

1) Mapping as Constrained Alignment: A Structure-First Extension of Structure-Mapping Theory (V1). Available on Zenodo.

In this public research note I am introducing Constrained Alignment as a structure-first extension of Structure-Mapping Theory. It proposes that mapping should be understood not only as relational correspondence, but as correspondence that can hold under conditions of structural compatibility.

2) Data Without Structure: Attachment, Alignment, and Compatibility as Preconditions for Cognitive Interpretation (V1). Available on Zenodo.

This conceptual contribution proposes that cognitive data does not become understanding through accumulation alone. It introduces attachment, alignment, and compatibility as preconditions for cognitive interpretation, especially in relation to cognitive data, structure-first reasoning, and Human-AI cognition.

3) Minimum Two Principle: Possibility and Support as Conditions of Continuity (V1). Available on Zenodo.

This conceptual structural contribution introduces the Minimum Two Principle, which proposes that possibility alone is insufficient for stable formation, continuity, or development. For something to become viable, possibility must be accompanied by support. The principle is expressed as a minimum relational condition: possibility + support. 

4) When Language Misleads Thought: Structural Misalignment in Cognitive Expression (V1). Available on Zenodo.

This conceptual structural contribution introduces structural misalignment as a mismatch between the relational configuration of thought and the expressive capacity of language. It proposes that language is not a direct mirror of cognition, but a constrained interface through which thought must be transformed before communication occurs. The paper develops a model of misalignment through compression, structural adaptation, and re-expansion, and examines how expression may fail to preserve cognitive structure even when the underlying thought is coherent.

5) Definition Through Difference: A Structure-First Account of How Identity Becomes Recognizable (V1). Available on Zenodo.

This conceptual structural contribution introduces Definition Through Difference as a structure-first account of how identity becomes recognizable. It proposes that definition does not begin with language alone, but with structured difference: a thing becomes definable when it can be distinguished from what it is not, while remaining coherent enough to be recognized as itself.
