Interacting Cognitive Subsystems (ICS), which explain mechanism of mindfulness, are originally information processing model for multi-modality among audition, vision and body-state. The ICS defines “meaning” as a function of cross-modal stimulus-response transfer, which constructs recursive process that can amplify maladaptive state of mind. Thus, ICS illustrates how we make extra meaning in recursive multi-modality. Here,we propose expanded use of ICS in other fields of cognitive science besides mindfulness.
