The Integrative Cognitive Selection System (ICSS) is a multi‑objective decision‑making framework designed to model how agents resolve internal conflict when navigating competing goals, values, and constraints. ICSS formalizes internal conflict as a structured selection problem, integrating cognitive appraisal, weighted tradeoff evaluation, and dynamic prioritization into a unified architecture. The framework introduces a multi‑layer selection mechanism that captures how individuals reconcile conflicting internal drives, update priorities, and converge toward stable decisions under uncertainty. ICSS provides a computational foundation for analyzing decision quality, internal coherence, and the dynamics of self‑regulation, offering applications across artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling, behavioral science, and organizational decision systems.
