Collaborative Cognition: Toward a Theory of Resonant Human–AI Collaboration

Collaborative Cognition introduces a conceptual framework for understanding sustained Human–AI interaction as an emergent cognitive process rather than a simple exchange of information. Instead of treating intelligence as a property of isolated participants, the paper investigates the conditions under which interaction itself becomes cognitively productive through iterative reconstruction, resonance, and conceptual emergence. The work is intended as a conceptual research program designed to encourage future empirical investigation.
