BLOC Theory: Binary Limitation of Organic Cognition and Cognitive Engineering

BLOC Theory formalizes the categorical limitations of modern digital computation relative to organic cognition. The central claim is that binary encoding imposes an ontological transformation that irreversibly removes phenomenological richness. This
paper presents the mathematical and structural underpinnings, operational principles, systemic relationships, and the formal BLOC Framework for modular decomposition of knowledge and systems. Implications include the necessity of alignment engineering over imitation, categorical cognitive asymmetry, and limits of emergent experiences in AI.. at 10.5281/zenodo.18692111
