Understanding Bias: A Cognitive Structure of Brain, Perception, and Habit

 This post introduces a conceptual model for understanding bias as a structural outcome of brain function, cognition, and habitual thinking. Rather than treating bias as a flaw, the framework reveals how it emerges naturally from the way the brain processes information and forms patterns. By mapping the flow from neurological activity to perception and then to thinking habits, the model supports reflective analysis of how bias shapes judgment, behavior, and decision-making.

Modeling Based on 西剛志『結局、​どう​したら​伝わるのか？』

Entity Name	Description
Brain	The neurological system that initiates perception and pattern formation.
Cognition	The process of interpreting sensory input and constructing meaning.
Thinking Habit	Repetitive cognitive patterns that shape how information is processed and decisions are made.

By modeling bias as a structural flow from brain to cognition to habit, this framework invites us to reflect on how deeply embedded patterns shape our worldview. It encourages designers, educators, and analysts to approach bias not as a defect, but as a predictable outcome of cognitive architecture—one that can be observed, questioned, and restructured.
