Cognitive Psychiatry and the cosmological genesis of knowledge, consciousness and science: From co-praxization to analogization, conceptualization and intersubjective objectivity

Traditional epistemology studies knowledge mainly through its formalized results, such as concepts, propositions and criteria of truth, and leaves the natural processes that precede them insufficiently explained. This article aims to propose, from the standpoint of Cognitive Psychiatry, a naturalistic and psychogenetic model of the genesis of knowledge, consciousness and science. It is a theoretical proposition essay supported by a narrative review of literature published between 2021 and 2026. Knowledge originates in the organism's participation in the processualities of the cosmos through co-praxization, co-synchronization and co-causalization. These operations build neurophysiological tracks that allow automatic analogization of processualities before any conscious hypothesis. Reflexive consciousness arises when the individual virtually reconstructs his own experience, and the interlocutor, who does not share that history, forces its objectification. The concept is a provisional coagulation of lived processualities that compacts, hierarchizes and extends causal chains beyond working memory. Scientific hypotheses emerge as virtual bridges built over gaps between discontinuous segments of experience, using previously incorporated analogies, and error results from legitimate but insufficient analogies. Formal science is a specialized development of an originary scientificity already present in communication, prediction and voluntary action. The model reformulates Meno's paradox, reinterprets the Platonic search for essences as an intuition of an initial analyticity, and gives Michel Meyer's problematology a natural genesis. Two tables, two figures, testable predictions and implications for Psychiatry are presented.
