ABSTRACT
|
| This paper introduces Contextual Reflexive Artificial Intelligence (CRAI) as a novel paradigm in artificial intelligence, advancing beyond the limits of data-driven cognition. Unlike conventional AI systems that operate within static ontologies and predefined representational frames, CRAI redefines intelligence as the capacity for reflexive self-revision, ontological reframing, and ethical contextual reasoning. CRAI agents are not merely adaptive in behavior–they are capable of reconstructing their own conceptual frameworks in response to epistemic conflict, cultural variation, and moral ambiguity. The proposed architecture operationalizes this paradigm through five interrelated modules: a Perception and Context Modeling module that constructs multi-layered representations of physical, social, and ethical environments; a Reflexive Reasoning Engine that monitors internal coherence; an Ontology Construction and Reframing module that dynamically restructures conceptual categories; a Narrative Simulation Engine that explores future scenarios across ethical and cultural frames; and an Ethical Reframing Engine that adjusts moral priorities contextually. Together, these components enable CRAI agents to function as self-reconstructing systems capable of navigating complex, human-centered domains where conventional AI models are brittle or misaligned. Illustrative scenarios demonstrate CRAI¢s application in education and intercultural mediation.
