From Algorithmic Gazing to Cognitive Closure: The Invisible Discipline of the Information Cocoon on Human Cognitive Constructs

Nowadays, Algorithmic technology has already fully penetrated all aspects of people's lives. And perceptions of algorithmic threats in today's academia are still relatively optimistic, there is still a gap in the research on exactly how the irreversible impact of the information cocoon constructed by algorithms is practised on the masses and what the flaws in the crowd's perception of algorithms are. This paper explores the deep logic behind the interplay of the information cocoon through an in-depth analysis of algorithmic technology, information cocoon, filtering bubbles, cognitive construction and algorithmic boycott behaviour. It examines how the information cocoon trains human cognitive construction from the nature of commercial algorithms. The paper also explains the joint role of algorithms in building a personalised filtering system through content and collaborative filtering, as well as the three major paradoxes of the closed-loop mechanism between algorithms and users. Finally, it discusses the adverse effects of the cocoon effect on the construction of human cognition and how individuals can resist it. Elaborate on the following topics: the commercial nature of algorithms; how algorithms build their personalised filtering system through the joint action of content filtering and collaborative filtering; the three major paradoxes of the 'closed-loop' mechanism between algorithms and users; the adverse effects of the cocoon effect on the construction of human cognition; and how individuals should resist it. From a logical point of view, algorithms can't achieve invisible regulation without a push from humans themselves.
