'''Cognition''' is a [[concepts|concept]] used generally to signify the process of thought. In [[psychology]] and [[cognitive science]] it refers to [[information processing]] by an individual's mindal functions. Other interpretations of the meaning of ''cognition'' link it to the development of ''concepts''; [[individual]] [[mind]]s, groups, organizations, and even larger coalitions of entities, can be modelled  as ''[[society|societies]]'' which cooperate to form [[concepts]].  
For example, in [[psychology]] and [[cognitive science]] it refers to an [[information processing]] view of an individual's psychological functions. Other interpretations of the meaning of ''cognition'' link it to the development of ''concepts''; [[individual]] [[mind]]s, groups, organizations, and even larger coalitions of entities, can be modelled  as ''[[society|societies]]'' which cooperate to form [[concepts]]. The autonomous elements of each 'society' would have the opportunity to demonstrate emergent behavior in the face of some crisis or opportunity. Cognition can also be interpreted as "understanding and trying to make sense of the world".[http://psychology.about.com/od/cindex/g/def_cognition.htm][http://crede.berkeley.edu/tools/glossary.html]
      
"It should be re'''cognized''' that the [[fact]] of life comes first, its evaluation or interpretation later. The human first lives and subsequently thinks about his living. In the [[cosmic]] [[economics|economy]], insight precedes foresight.[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper112.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper112.html&line=85#mfs]
