### LAYER 01: REFLEXIVE THINKING (METACOGNITION)

\[ STATUS: CORE OPERATIONAL LAYER ]

#### 1. Canonical Definition

"Reflexive thinking is the capacity to consciously observe and examine the cognitive processes through which perception, interpretation, and inference come into presence. As a foundational layer of intellectual capital, reflexive thinking regulates the internal conditions under which knowledge is formed before it is enhanced by Architectural Resolution [(L-02)](/semantic-source/01_cognitive_architecture/02_l-02_architectural_resolution.md) and expressed into documents [(L-04)](/semantic-source/02_knowledge_synthesis/04_l-04_document_anchored_practice.md), conceptual models, or collaborative systems. Within creative ecologies, this capacity enables engagement with external cognitive tools, keeping such interaction guided, reflective, and meaning-oriented."
