Subjectica: A Lateralized Model of Embodied Cognitive Stance

The mind–body problem remains a central unresolved issue in contemporary cognitive science. Although research on hemispheric asymmetry has yielded extensive knowledge about neural specialization and functional localization, it provides limited explanatory power for how lateralized neural processes become expressed as observable embodied behavior. Existing approaches typically treat bodily asymmetry either as an epiphenomenon or as a static anatomical correspondence, leaving a conceptual and operational gap between neural activity, subjective experience, and kinematic expression.This manuscript presents Subjectica, a purely theoretical neurophenomenological framework that addresses this gap by conceptualizing hemispheric asymmetry as a dynamic process of embodied cognitive orientation. Rather than positing a fixed mapping between hemispheres and body sides, the model proposes that lateralization is expressed as continuous sensorimotor organization reflecting the current interpretative orientation of the organism. Cognitive stance is therefore understood as an embodied orientation that emerges through the relative predominance of internally and externally integrated interpretative resources during contextual interpretation and becomes observable through structured asymmetries in posture, movement, and segmental motor activity.The model introduces four interrelated conceptual constructs: Personal-Oriented Left Side (PO-LS), Social-Oriented Right Side (SO-RS), Asymmetric Neurobehavioral Signal (ANS), and Body Segments (BS). Together, these constructs provide an interpretative framework linking hemispheric functional asymmetry, embodied cognitive orientation, and measurable bodily dynamics. The framework enables the analysis of lateralization as continuous probabilistic patterns of whole-body and segment-specific motor organization rather than as discrete anatomical or task-specific indicators.Subjectica is intended as a generative theoretical framework that produces testable hypotheses and operational pathways for future empirical research at the intersection of embodied cognition, hemispheric asymmetry, neurophenomenology, and embodied contextual interpretation.
