A Arquitetura da Incerteza: Mecanismos de "Seizing and Freezing" na Formação de Certezas Equivocadas sob Pressão Cognitiva

This paper proposes a conceptual framework describing how humans form incorrect certainties under cognitive pressure. We introduce the model "Architecture of Uncertainty", which integrates psychological mechanisms such as heuristic decision making, the cognitive process known as "Seizing and Freezing", and the dynamics of uncertainty collapse in high-pressure environments. The work aims to provide a theoretical lens for understanding failures in judgment across domains including decision-making under stress, institutional reasoning, organizational dynamics, and technological environments. The paper proposes that certainty is often not the result of truth discovery but the result of cognitive stabilization mechanisms activated under uncertainty. This research contributes to interdisciplinary discussions between cognitive psychology, epistemology, systems thinking, and decision science. Author:Wilian Barbosa Wilian Labs Research Group
