Since the dawn of computing, we have built Artificial Intelligence on a flawed premise: perfect rationality. We brute-force algorithms to find the optimal solution, assuming infinite time and infinite capacity.

But humans don't work like that. As Herbert Simon famously coined, we operate on Bounded Rationality. We make decisions based on limited time, limited cognitive capacity, and limited information.

What if, instead of forcing AI to be perfectly rational, we created a mathematical equivalent for human processing? What if we modeled human cognition using the laws of physics — wave theory, thermodynamics, and mechanical energy equations — to build a heavy, complex, but highly probabilistic AI engine?

Here is a blueprint for a new field of research: Computational Cognitive Mechanics.
