Short Abstract This conceptual preprint examines whether some cosmological questions arise from projecting the human birth–existence–death framework onto the Universe. It proposes that life-based cognition can shape assumptions about cosmic beginnings, endings, and nothingness, and introduces Structural Cognitive Science as a method for examining how cognitive structures influence scientific problem formation. The paper explores a conservation-based perspective and an infinite hierarchical universe as proposed conceptual alternatives, rather than established empirical conclusions. It connects cosmology, cognitive science, and human–AI collaborative thought experiments, and identifies directions for further examination of the framework.
