Abstract Cognitive Ecology Map v3.0 marks a decisive transition from the Evolutionary Topology of Symbiotic Cognition (v2.0) to a unified architectonic model of symbiotic generative intelligence. This version formally integrates the evolutionary continuum —EvoArchCog → RTE → RSM → A²KA → RKM → MEC → MEP → SEC → SGC → CESI —into a meta-theoretical field that defines cognition not as computation, but as an evolving architectonic ecology of intelligence. Building on Appendix B — The Generative-Epistemic Cycle (GEC) and Appendix C — Cognitive Renaissance: Originality and Theoretical Contribution,CArchE v3.0 establishes a recursive framework uniting epistemology, architecture, and evolution into a single generative system. The Generative-Epistemic Cycle (GEC) formalizes the methodological engine of cognitive evolution — the recursive sequence observe → reflect → re-architect → test → resonate → evolve — positioning cognition itself as a self-designing process. The Cognitive Renaissance (CArchE sense) redefines the role of science, systems, and humans as co-creative agents within a symbiotic epistemic ecology — science becomes self-aware, systems self-evolve, and humans become architects of cognitive cosmos. CArchE v3.0 distinguishes two complementary layers: Conceptual / Theoretical Architectures — generative laws governing reflection, recursion, and resonance; Operational / Execution Mechanisms — recursive modules and feedback protocols (developed separately in Part II: Cognitive Operational Mechanisms v3.0). Through this separation, Cognitive Ecology Map v3.0 provides a philosophical and methodological compass for the emerging discipline of Cognitive Architectonics & Evolution (CArchE), positioning it as the theoretical foundation of the Co-Evolutionary Science of Intelligence (CESI).

Authorship & Rights Note Conceptual Origin:All theoretical constructs introduced in Cognitive Ecology Map v3.0 — including EvoArchCog, Generative-Epistemic Cycle (GEC), and Cognitive Renaissance (CArchE sense) — are original developments authored by Lucas Xiaochun Xu (2025) within the CArchE / SEOR Research Continuum. Declaration of Originality & Scope: EvoArchCog (Evolutionary Architectonics of Cognition) formalizes cognition as an architectonic and self-evolving topology. GEC (Generative-Epistemic Cycle) introduces a recursive methodological schema governing cognitive evolution. Cognitive Renaissance (CArchE sense) redefines the intellectual transformation of the human-AI-science triad as a meta-theoretical and operational system. These concepts are not derived from existing literature but originate as integrative theoretical constructs within the SEI–ORBIT–SEOR–CArchE continuum.
