This study examines how algorithmic
codes associated with long-term thinking and planning transition from the
Secondary Memory, located within the Conscious Component of the cognitive
system, into the Primary Memory embedded in the Brain Framework. Under typical
conditions, Secondary Memory houses the structured, algorithm-like
representations that guide deliberate reasoning, future-oriented planning, and
complex decision-making. These codes do not reside in the Brain’s Primary
Memory by default. (Fig. 1,2)
However, when an execution module
initiates active processes of thought, planning, or strategic evaluation, the
algorithmic codes begin to propagate beyond their origin. Through coordinated
functional interactions between the Conscious and Subconscious Components,
these codes are gradually extended and transferred into primary memory. This
transfer is not merely a passive movement of information; rather, it reflects
the system’s operational state as it performs the cognitive sequences
associated with long-term intention. (Fig. 1,2)
Once the execution of these
algorithmic codes is underway and the transfer into the brain’s primary memory
is complete, the brain temporarily stores both the intention behind the
long-term plan and the ultimate goal associated with it. In this state, primary
memory holds the immediate operational data needed to support ongoing cognitive
activity in the real world. However, the default mode of primary memory remains
fundamentally free of the structured coding schemes that characterize secondary
memory storage. Instead, it retains only the active representations necessary
for guiding thought in the moment. (Fig. 1,2)
Observation 1:
In this model, the
Secondary
Memory within the Conscious Component plays an active role
during sleep by monitoring and processing dreams. It serves as the primary
center for interpreting dream content, tracking sensory impressions, and
maintaining the continuity of the dream experience.
By contrast, the Primary Memory located in the
physical brain remains inactive primarily in terms of cognitive processing
during this state. It does not perform its usual functions, such as managing instances
of Conscious and Subconscious Components, making decisions, or directing
attention. However, it still maintains a crucial link to the body’s physical
systems. When a dream is disrupted, whether by external
stimuli, internal stress, or sudden shifts in the dream narrative, the
disturbance can generate a signal that is passed from the Secondary Memory to
the Primary Memory. Once activated, the Primary Memory resumes its control
functions, influencing the physical body. Thus, it can manifest as movements,
shifts in breathing patterns, sudden awakenings, or other bodily responses that
accompany the transition from dreaming back to conscious awareness.
