This document examines crying's origins through the Nature Reflection Model, revealing energy sources in cognitive patterns.

This paper investigates the origins of crying by analyzing the energy allocation in cognitive patterns within the hippocampus.
Framework analysis using the Nature Reflection Model to explore crying mechanisms.
Identification of three pathways related to symmetry breaks: permanent, local transient, and routine compensable.
Development of a falsifiable prediction based on connection density related to crying's duration and intensity.
Identified distinct pathways of symmetry breaks influencing crying: grief, joy, and daily life experiences.
Proposed that the duration and intensity of crying correspond to the connection density within the broken patterns.
Demonstrated activation of the amygdala following energy allocation disruptions in cognitive patterns.

Davoud Mousarezaei (2026) studied this question.
