Cognitive Copernicus: AI as Temporal Translation Technology for Neurodivergent Cognition

This work is an original, human authored manuscript written entirely by the author, Alessandro Grassini Grimaldi.

No artificial intelligence systems, generative writing tools, or automated text generation software were used in the drafting, composition, or structuring of this paper. All arguments, formulations, interpretations, and narrative decisions are the result of independent human reasoning, lived experience, and sustained intellectual work by the author.

Any use of artificial intelligence discussed within the paper is analytical and conceptual, not instrumental to the paper’s production.

The paper is intentionally positioned in critical opposition to dominant contemporary narratives surrounding artificial intelligence. It examines AI not as an authorial agent but as a subject of analysis, specifically as a potential cognitive and institutional force that, if uncritically adopted or improperly regulated, may produce harm rather than liberation.
