The Hummingbird’s Hour: Fractal Resolution and the Scale-Dependence of Rationality

2025-11-03

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human experience unfolds at multiple temporal scales, yet cognitive science typically assumes that rationality operates on a uniform timeline. This paper develops the concept of fractal cognition into a formal theoretical framework, proposing that variation in neural temporal resolution – the rate at which the brain samples sensory information – alters both the density of lived time and the structure of reasoni...
