Cubical Model of Intelligence: Phenomenological and Cognitive Approach to Seven Aspects of Mind

The Cubic Model of Intelligence proposes that seven aspects of the mind—logic, emotion, intuition, memory, ethics, social context, and temporal foresight—are not separate functions but facets of a unified cognitive structure whose interactions shape understanding and decision-making. Derived from observation of internal thinking processes, the model is presented as a theoretical hypothesis about the structural organization of consciousness, subject to operationalization and empirical testing. The work integrates philosophical reflection, cognitive theory, and psychological practice, and discusses potential verification through phenomenological and behavioral methods, with applications in education, psychotherapy, consciousness studies, and artificial intelligence.

Abstract

This paper presents the Cubic Model of Intelligence — a phenomenological and cognitive approach to understanding seven interrelated aspects of the mind: logic,emotion, intuition, memory, ethics, social context, and temporal foresight. The model is derived from observation of internal thinking processes and proposes to view these aspects not as separate functions but as facets of a unified cognitive structure, whose interactions shape human understanding and decision-making. In this study, the cube is not treated as a symbolic image but as a theoretical hypothesis about the structural organization of consciousness, subject to operationalization and empirical testing. Phenomenological analysis and self-observation serve as the starting point, but the emphasis is shifted toward the possibility of formalizing the seven facets through observable cognitive processes, which makes the model applicable in empirical psychology. The work seeks to integrate philosophical reflection, cognitive theory,and psychological practice. The paper discusses potential directions for verifying the model through a combination of phenomenological and behavioral methods, as well as perspectives for its application in education, psychotherapy, consciousness studies, and artificial intelligence development.
