2.0 Cognitive Capacity (Master Cycle)

Cognitive Capacity is the thinking backbone of the Lifelong Capacities Map® — the overarching cycle that integrates flexible reframing, strategic foresight, adaptive learning, and creative ideation. It’s about more than intelligence: it’s the skill of shifting perspective, anticipating ripple effects, extracting lessons, and generating new options you can actually act on. In this capacity you’ll practice the Adaptive Thinking Cycle — Shift → Anticipate → Learn → Create → Act — so that when you’re stuck, over-thinking, or facing complex decisions, your mind becomes a flexible, forward-looking, problem-solving ally rather than a rigid or chaotic critic.
