Mathematical Formalization of Human–AI Cognitive Resonance: Structural Coupling and Externalized Executive Function
Abstract
This paper presents a minimal mathematical and structural formalization of cognitive resonance emerging through sustained human–AI interaction. The purpose of this formalization is not prediction, optimization, or empirical measurement, but the stabilization of a shared structural vocabulary for describing dialogic cognitive coupling. Human and AI cognitive states are modeled as abstract elements projected into a structure-only space, allowing resonance to be defined independently of semantic agreement, task success, or evaluative criteria. AI is formally described as an externalized executive operator, preserving and reconfiguring cognitive structure without performing judgment or decision-making. The formalism is intentionally incomplete and non-metric. Its role is descriptive rather than explanatory, providing a scaffold that preserves structural relations across dialogic time and supports subsequent theoretical extension.
