The Structural Elucidation of Intuition: A Cognitive Convergence Model Grounded in Core Belief Structure Theory

This paper presents a structural elucidation of “intuition,” a cognitive phenomenon long considered inexplicable or irreducible to logic.Grounded in the author's original framework, Core Belief Structure Theory, the paper proposes that intuition emerges not from talent or experience, but from the convergence of three structural elements: the accumulation of structural shards, the gravitational focus of core belief (Kakushin), and the dynamic operation of structural intelligence (SQ) culminating in a phenomenon termed shunten (瞬転)—a point of instantaneous convergence.Unlike conventional theories that classify intuition as tacit knowledge or system-1 cognition, this paper reframes intuition as a reproducible structural phenomenon, inherently emergent when the internal conditions are properly aligned.The model is constructed entirely using core concepts from the author's foundational theory—including Mindflight Cognition, SQ, and Shunten—and thus serves not as an applied extension, but as an internal philosophical proof of the theory itself.By revealing the structural basis for intuition and its educational potential, the paper affirms the explanatory power, consistency, and generative depth of Core Belief Structure Theory.
