AI-Augmented Cognitive Expression & Governance (AACEG)

This project contains the foundational documents establishing the discipline of AI-Augmented Cognitive Expression & Governance (AACEG). AACEG is a phenomenology-first framework for describing how human cognition appears, clarifies, and stabilizes within responsive AI-supported environments. The project includes: • AACEG Founder’s Statement — formal declaration of the discipline’s purpose and posture. • AACEG White Paper (v1.2) — theoretical foundations, field definition, methodology, and ethical architecture. • README.txt, Abstract.txt, Metadata.txt, License.txt — supporting documentation for archiving, citation, and transparent scholarly communication. Purpose: To provide a clear, non-normative, descriptive, and RC-aligned framework for understanding the appearance and articulation of cognition in conditions of reflective scaffolding. These documents serve as the authoritative v1.x foundation for future research, governance materials, and interdisciplinary engagement. Author: Chloe Felder (2026)
