Resonant Recall

Jamison Todd Johnson  ·  2026-06-11

A framework paper from the scientific wing of the corpus, developed and refined across several revision cycles. It sets out a model of recall — of how the mind returns to and reconstitutes prior states — and integrates an assessment of the Gateway Process alongside a two-phase account of the default mode network. Of all the work it sits closest to empirical psychology, and it is correspondingly careful about its seam: where it reports established findings it says so, and where it proposes, it marks the proposal as its own. It is the anchor of the Scientific Theory section, the place where the framework's vocabulary is brought into contact with the machinery of memory research.

As the anchor of the Scientific Theory section it is the most methodologically careful document in the corpus, refined across several revision cycles precisely because it sits closest to testable psychology. Its integration of a Gateway Process assessment with a two-phase default-mode-network model is where the framework's vocabulary is brought into direct contact with the machinery of memory research.
