Washed in a cycle of dumb you down detergent, no matter how much you scrub and use stain remover the spots won't come out. Dripped on grape juice, how thoughts appear. So much so, you have to throw out your white pants and get a new pair. Clothing can become dispensable, but thoughts are meant to be assembled. What do you think?

A Thinking Artifact™ is a designed environment that does more than present ideas. It demonstrates the motion of thinking mechanics. Each section is built to shift self-operating internal logic, trigger self-originating insight, and realign how you interpret meaning — in real time.
It doesn’t explain cognition from the outside.
It moves you through it from the inside.
You’re not just self-learning something new — your mind is connecting awareness differently as you go. That’s the purpose of a Thinking Artifact™: it’s not here to inform you — it’s here to inform and empower self-thought™.
I design cognitive systems that decode how individuals think, learn, and operate at their highest level of self-command. As the creator of A.L.I.G.N.® (Assess, Layout, Integrate, Grow, Nurture), The Betweenverse™, PUZZLEyOU™, I advance operational self-mastery by turning cognition into a consciously navigable system.
Every term in my methodology is engineered to function within a structured cognitive loop — it doesn't just name a concept, it initiates thought movement. These terms act as tools, not labels, enabling users to recognize, redirect, and realign their inner operations of self-governance.
Cognitive System Literacy™ enables individuals to understand the mechanics behind their thoughts, decisions, and patterns — like reading the blueprint of their mind. With this self-thinking literacy, people gain the ability to recognize how thought patterns operate their thought system instead of being unconsciously driven by it. Self-sequencing thought. Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra's intentional design.
PUZZLEyOU™ is the entry-level framework for developing Cognitive System Literacy™, designed to help individuals identify how they think, learn, and internally process. It teaches users how to recognize their own cognitive architecture through accessible, interactive scaffolding — turning their mental puzzle into a usable, self-guided system of thought which can be introduced at 9 years of age.
PUZZLEyOU™ — reveals the foundational access points of self-understanding
Each of the following terms is just a piece of the system’s beginning layer.
The Betweenverse™ is the cognitive space between thought and action — a navigational zone where misalignments, unspoken beliefs, and inherited limitations live. It is the developmental middle of self-mastery where learners build functional awareness, disrupt internal default patterns, and gain access to new modes of operation.
The Betweenverse™ — the developmental expansion layer.
A.L.I.G.N.® Self-Mastery Methodology™, a Cognitive System that guides individuals through five core phases: Assess, Layout, Integrate, Grow, and Nurture. This process transforms abstract awareness into operational alignment, enabling users to self-decode their internal system and intentionally reconstruct their thoughts, language, behavior, and emotional logic from the inside out for self-exactness.

Self-thinking literacy™ is the ability to understand, interpret, and manage one’s thought operations through Thinking System Awareness™ as a functioning internal system. It moves beyond reflection or analysis, teaching individuals how to track, reroute, and realign their thinking in real time to operate with intentional self-governance.
Self-sequencing thought™ is the internal skill of consciously ordering, rerouting, or re-prioritizing one’s thoughts within a navigable structure. This cognitive ability gives individuals control over the flow of their internal processing, allowing them to redirect thought-loops, dismantle mental blocks, and restructure patterns from the inside. It includes the capacity to self-select which thought to operationalize.
To be self-operational is to function with internal agency — where thought, decision, and behavior are not externally driven but guided by an intentional system one actively manages. It reflects the capacity to run your inner architecture from within, with minimal reliance on external feed.
— Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra, Creator of the Loop Logic™
A cognitive system is the internal infrastructure that governs how an individual thinks, learns, processes, and self-directs behavior. It is an operating structure — not just a mental state — composed of interconnected loops, patterns, and logic sequences that can be made visible and navigable.
Self-literacy is the ability to read, interpret, and navigate one’s internal thought system with fluency. It goes beyond self-awareness by offering a structured understanding of how one’s cognition functions, responds, and operates under various conditions.
The self-operating manual is the individualized internal guide created through conscious cognitive engagement. It allows a person to understand and manage how their system runs, what drives it, and how to intervene when patterns become misaligned.
Built-in autocorrect™ is the system’s natural ability to realign itself once it gains literacy and structure. Instead of relying on external motivation, the user begins correcting misalignments through internal detection and loop rerouting.
Subscription thinking™ is the unconscious acceptance of external models, beliefs, and systems without assessing their internal alignment. It is the default mode of thought many individuals unintentionaly operate from — unknowingly subscribing to inherited or imposed logic without permission or conscious agreement. Renting out your thinking at minimal cost while not realizing you have few, if any, individualized benefits.
Self-Funneling Loop logic™ is the internal sequencing pattern that governs how one thought loop leads to another — often operating unconsciously and prompting a self-study of individualized thinking for exactness in structuring an invisible process that becomes visible.
In a self-defining moment of choice and decision making when Self-Thinking Literacy™ is key, a new Self-Funneling Loop Logic™ emerges, diverging from the current loop and looping around to re-enter the same loop with an intentional objective unrecognized by most individuals. The ongoing operation of Self-Funneling Loop Logic™ is the recursive mechanism through which intentional objectives are re-inserted into existing loops, producing a self-directed re-sequencing of thought.
Non-completion of the loop is a loss of directional information.
Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra's Cognitive System Thinking™
Strategically starved™ describes a cognitive condition where an individual’s system is deprived of access to structure, patterns, or support needed to self-operate. It’s not about lack of intelligence — it’s about being denied the internal tools necessary for strategic self-mastery.
Architectural self-discovery™ is the process of uncovering the design, construction, and function of one’s inner system. It is not about finding oneself, but about understanding the blueprint of how the self was built to think — and how to consciously examine and navigate that architecture.
Thoughtwork™ is the process of observing the puzzle-like fragments of thought that shape how your thoughts, words, and actions align in motion. Each one is purposeful — collected, studied, and assembled to counter the drift away from self or intent. Thoughtwork™ is about recognizing these pieces through your perspective, understanding why they exist, and using them to guide intentional cognitive design.
Puzzle Thought Ideation™ is the understanding that thoughts are not isolated — they are puzzle pieces waiting to be selected, positioned, and operationalized. This method turns ideation into a process of cognitive assembly, where insight is created through intentional mental construction.
Thinking System Awareness™ is the recognition that thought is not random — it is an organized system of operations, patterns, and internal triggers. This awareness gives individuals access to the architecture behind their thinking, enabling intentional navigation and control through pattern recognition and structural self-recognized logic.
Self-verified thinking™ is the cognitive practice of internally validating one’s thoughts, decisions, and logic loops without relying on external affirmation. It restores internal authority by teaching the thinker how to assess, trust, and align their system of reasoning, empowering self-agency and self-security.

LogicFuse™ Paradox is when a parent, family member, or guardian who previously grew up in poverty becomes resourced successful and prevents various hardships for their children. They discuss both wealth-building strategies and the hardships they endured to build their wealth — unaware that combining these two frameworks creates a fused logic system. It is not the reasoning itself that creates the issue, but the unintentional merger of survival and success into a single, undifferentiated loop of logic. That combination becomes the unidentified thinking framework of the child — a fused logic neither the parent nor the child is aware of.
Based on the child’s interlocked knowledge, as an adult, they don’t realize they cannot distinguish between wealth-building and scarcity tactics. They deploy both as a single operational method, which appears as high risk, tenacity, and often strategy — but produces a paradoxical cycle of ongoing chaos and elevation.
The more resources they acquire, the higher the risk and the greater the potential loss — forming a recurring pattern that can lead to greater success for both unrecognized objectives. This pattern might be mistaken for something familiar, but it isn’t. The dual focus is on “not to be poor” and “to generate abundance,” representing competing ways of thinking — success logic built on survival reasoning.
LogicFuse™ Paradox is a misapplied “dueling-logic” pattern inherited through unintended reasoning operating recursively. LogicFuse™ Paradox applies to various domains. that oppose one another.
A cognitive system science authored by Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra (Dr. Thought), the Cognitiveverse Apparatus Operative™ refers to the intentional structuring of internal logic systems that self-validate an individual’s thinking guidelines during execution.
The Cognitiveverse Apparatus Operative™ is not descriptive but operational. It uses iterative signal behavior to generate conditions that reveal misalignments and self-diagnose system-level cognition. As such, it provides the diagnostic spine of PUZZLEyOU™, The Betweenverse™, A.L.I.G.N.® (Assess - Layout - Integrate - Grow - Nurture) Self-Mastery Methodology, situating cognition as an architecture of recursive, executable order.
A glimpse into the motion behind the method.
This video introduces the metaphor of the “25-legged spider” — a living representation of the multidimensional, motion-based logic system developed by Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra.
It’s a visual signal of how complexity, direction, and cognitive choice converge within the architecture of Cognitive System Thinking™.
Everything moves with your reasoning — when you have Cognitive System Literacy™.
This is only one aspect of one layer of the comprehensive “25-legged spider” cyclical methodology developed by Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra, and shared on the Cognitive Language page.
Self-Funneling Loop Logic™ represents a surface-level motion structure within the larger cognitive system known as Cognitive System Literacy™ — a methodology built on three foundational frameworks:

A Thinkermind™ is a cognitively active internal system that reorganizes its own structure through recursive insight. It does not rely on external feedback to evolve; instead, it activates internal motion through self-inquiry, layered awareness, and identity-based alignment. Each cognitive movement strengthens the system's capacity to reinterpret, redirect, and ascend thought. The Thinkermind™ functions as a dynamic infrastructure of meaning — one that self-generates progression, recognizes pattern shifts, and constructs insight from within.
Cognitive Language™ is a research-based system-level cognitive infrastructure authored by Dr. Marie Roberts De La Parra (Dr. Thought). It forms the internal architecture through which cognition activates, repositions, and realigns itself. This language does not describe thought — it governs it.
Cognitive Language™ works as a loop-based mental framework. Each term sets internal thought in motion, creating scaffolding for recursive, self-correcting processes. It isn’t something added on top of cognition — it is the very structure that cognition moves through. This recognizes that thought operates within a complex internal network of interdependent looping systems. The key property here is that cognition isn’t random or fragmented, but an interconnected system that can be intentionally self-navigated, aligned, and directed.
Each term in this system — such as Self-Funneling Loop Logic™, Self-Verified Thinking™, or other structural definitions — works as a recursive node. When someone engages with a term, it reactivates their cognitive motion in a self-feedback loop. This isn’t just passive awareness; it’s identity-aligned self-insights that spark self-initiated restructuring. The system’s power lies in its ability to activate thinking loops that generate their insight and continuously refine understanding. This property allows individuals to recognize the cognitive conditions where one thought intentionally leads to another, building greater clarity and depth through structured iteration.
Self-thinking systems work without relying on consistent external references. Every definition, quote, or metaphor in this Cognitive Language generates insight from within, creating a self-contained and internally consistent structure of thought. Within this design, cognitive processes are built to self-correct and self-optimize once awareness is applied and structurally aligned. This self-thinking property ensures that when the system is operating in internal alignment, it can naturally sustain and improve itself without the need for constant external input or intervention.
Self-portals are the unique entry points each person uses to access and activate their thinking. These entry points align with an individual’s internal logic, making the process personal and intuitive. The language of this self-literacy system provides a map that guides people toward self-agency and greater visibility into their minds. In practice, this means individuals begin and engage through the access points they recognize for themselves — anchors that strengthen their sense of agency. This property acknowledges that the most effective way to operate one’s cognitive system is by starting with self-identified self-chosen points of reference that are unique to each person.
The terms don’t stand alone — they work together in coordinated patterns that help the mind align, recalibrate, and reconfigure itself. The system is built to be flexible, scalable, and adaptable. Its inner logic runs in repeating loops, making it possible to understand, organize, and adjust your thinking without tearing the whole structure apart. These loops are meant for each person to grasp and use in their own way, so you can make precise changes while keeping the overall thinking system strong and intact.
Cognitive Language™ takes the invisible patterns of the mind and turns them into visible Cognitive Geometry™, showing how thoughts are organized, assembled, and put into action. It makes cognition structurally self-aware and strategically visible, offering a framework where the shape, motion, and structure of thought can be seen and worked with. Think of it as a blueprint — a visual and conceptual map of how the mind is built — that allows people to observe, measure, and intentionally guide their thinking to organize and refine their mental framework.
