Quantum Nyaya Cognition: an Architecture
Abstract
We introduce a hybrid cognitive architecture called Paramanu Nyaya Bodha (PNB), combining quantum belief representation with Nyaya epistemic inference. The architecture is defined through a quadruple (B, P, I,A) representing belief, perception, inference, and action.We develop scaling laws comparing PNB with random search and production-rule cognitive architectures and prove an agent-count invariant crossover theorem showing the robustness of PNB in multi-agent systems. Applications to high-dimensional perception tasks, such as representation of faces of three-dimensional objects, demonstrate that PNB permits reasoning in richer feature spaces without aggressive dimensional projection. The framework integrates quantum logic with classical epistemic reasoning and suggests a new direction for scalable cognitive architectures.
