Artificial Intelligence is increasingly deployed in high-stakes fields (from healthcare to finance) yet many AI models remain opaque “black boxes”. The Comprehensible Configurable Adaptive Cognitive Structure (CCACS) introduces a next-generation cognitive architecture that merges fully formal, transparent reasoning with adaptive AI techniques under rigorous ethical oversight.

In the following sections, I explore how CCACS functions at its core, detailing its layered structure, data flows, and mechanisms that ensure explainability and reliability. Finally, I examine how CCACS can evolve into an Adaptive Composable Cognitive Core Unit (ACCCU), unlocking modular scalability for more advanced cognitive applications.

High-Level Architecture Overview

At the heart of CCACS lies a four-layer design that integrates formal reasoning with advanced AI under strict oversight. The table below provides a snapshot of these layers and their core responsibilities.

Now that I’ve seen the four primary layers, let’s look at how they communicate.

Detailed Layer Functions

Having established the high-level structure and data flows, let’s examine each layer in more depth. The following tables break down the sub-components and functions within TIC, MOAI, LED, and MU — revealing how every part works together under CCACS.

Reasoning, Formalization, and Causality

In CCACS, every type of reasoning — from absolute, deterministic logic to emergent, exploratory insights — requires matching formalization and validation protocols. The tables below illustrate how causality grades align with Thinking Tool tiers, ensuring that tasks needing high certainty remain fully transparent, while more exploratory tasks can still be systematically managed.

Managing AI Opacity

Because CCACS spans a wide variety of AI methods, I categorize these along an “Opacity Spectrum”. This spectrum ensures that more opaque methods receive stronger oversight, while less opaque methods integrate more transparently into decision-making.

Inter-Layer Interactions and Key Mechanisms

To maintain consistent collaboration and oversight, CCACS defines clear communication channels between layers. Below is a big-picture interaction matrix, followed by a short-form summary of the essential mechanisms that keep our system safe, transparent, and ethically aligned.
