Conceptual framework defines cognition through environmental interactions, indicating thought's ecological roots.
BioticCoupling defines cognition as structurally entangled with environmental pressure. In Socioplastics, thought does not arise apart from climate, matter, ecology, or atmosphere, but through continuous coupling with them. Environmental conditions are not contextual background; they participate directly in the formation of perception, cognition, and epistemic orientation. BioticCoupling frames the field as a relation between mental structure and ecological force, where cognition emerges through contact with multispecies environments, climatic stress, and material interdependence. Thought is always already ecological.
