The mind canon holds foundational statements of laws, principles, models, and primary derivations governing perception, cognition, decision, and the computational organization of mental life. The unit of inclusion is the primary text in which a mechanism, a model, or a constitutive question is first stated by its originator (or stated in its now-canonical form).
