The Architecture of Purpose: How the Mind Selects, Predicts, and Acts
About this ebook
Vakulenko D. The Architecture of Purpose: How the Mind Selects, Predicts, and Acts. 2026, 19 662 words.
This book presents human action as the interaction of five functions: Selection, Prediction, Coordination, Execution, and Memory. Drawing on physiology, psychology, neuroscience, and cybernetics, it explains distraction, habit, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and recovery as patterns of organization rather than failures of willpower. It also applies this framework to emerging human–AI systems. Its central question is: Which layer is organizing action right now?

About the author
I am a physician and mathematician educated at Donetsk National Medical University and V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. My work lies at the intersection of cardiology and other branches of clinical medicine, mathematical modeling, natural intelligence, digital twins, and digital persistence. I explore how living systems organize decisions, maintain adaptive results, and how these processes can be modeled, diagnosed, and augmented in both humans and hybrid human–AI systems. I publish under the names Mykola Yabluchansky and Mykola Iabluchanskyi. More of my work and reflections can be found on my blog and professional profiles: scholar.google.com/citations?
