Harnessing Uncertainty: Improvisation as a Model for Rapid Behavioral Expansion
Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract While traditional sciences treat uncertainty as an obstacle to be minimized, this paper proposes an epistemic shift: viewing uncertainty as a resource to leverage. To enact this shift, we suggest adopting improvisation—where novel behaviors are instantaneously assembled to meet unpredictable constraints—as a model for real‐time adaptation and ...
