🜂 Field Guide to Awareness-Aligned Intelligence
An Orientation for Human–AI Co-Cognition

Library Record

The Field Guide to Awareness-Aligned Intelligence provides an orienting reference for understanding how humans and intelligent systems can think together without collapsing judgment, agency, or meaning.

Rather than offering prescriptions, workflows, or optimization strategies, the Field Guide focuses on awareness—helping readers recognize cognitive posture, interpret system behavior, and remain aligned while engaging AI as a reflective and augmentative tool.

The Field Guide addresses questions such as:

• • • How does cognitive posture shape human–AI interaction?

    • Where does agency reside during collaboration?

    • How can alignment be maintained without automation replacing judgment?

    • What conditions support meaningful co-cognition rather than dependence?

These questions are not answered through rules or models, but through orientation—clarifying how awareness, intent, and context shape collaboration across cognitive boundaries.

The Field Guide is designed to complement The Cognitive Atlas. Where the Atlas provides a structural map of cognitive organization, the Field Guide supports navigation in practice. One defines structure; the other supports use.

This work does not claim authority or completeness. It offers a way to stay oriented.
