- A.01 What This Encyclopedia Is An orientation — what's in this collection, who wrote it, how to read it, and how it relates to the monograph it derives from.
- A.02 Artificial Intelligence: A Working Definition A working vocabulary — symbolic AI, machine learning, deep learning, generative AI — and what each term does and does not cover.
- A.03 The Architecture of Human Cognition A working sketch — attention, working memory, long-term memory, executive function — of the human cognitive architecture the rest of the encyclopedia repeatedly references.
- A.04 The 2025 Moment Why the period 2022–2025 marks a structural break — what changed about generative AI's role in everyday cognitive life, and why earlier "AI moments" did not.
- A.05 AI as Cognitive Partner: Augmentation or Decline? The framing tension that organizes the rest of the encyclopedia. Both readings are right; what determines which dominates is design, education, and policy.
