me•ta•cog•ni•tion, n. Awareness and understanding of one’s own thought processes. Metacognition is cognition about cognition, or knowing about knowing. It can take many forms; it includes knowledge about when and how to use particular strategies for learning or problem-solving. There are generally two components of metacognition: knowledge about cognition, and regulation of cognition.

FOUR STAGES OF BECOMING GENIUS
For any given subject:

3. BEING, DOING AND HAVING
Ontology Definition
On•to•lo•gy, n. from onto-, from the Greek ὤν,
ὄντος “being; that which is”, and -λογία, -logia:
“science, study, theory”)
The theoretical, philosophical study of the nature of
being, becoming, existence, or reality, as well as the
basic categories of being and their relations.

4. BEING, DOING AND HAVING
Ontics Definition
On•tic, adj. from the Greek ὄν, genitive ὄντος:
“being; that which is”; whatever is physical, real, or
factual existence.
Ontics pertains to what is actually present
(phenomena), as opposed to the nature or
properties of that being (ontology).

5. BEING, DOING AND HAVING
Cognition Definition
cog•ni•tion: n
1. The mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding through thought, experience or the senses.
2. A result of this: a perception, sensation, notion or intuition.
Cognition refers to the mental process of awareness.A cognition
is an instance of that process, a becoming aware of something.

6. METACOGNITION DEFINITION
me•ta•cog•ni•tion, n. Awareness and understanding of one’s own
thought processes.
Metacognition is cognition about cognition, or knowing about
knowing. It can take many forms; it includes knowledge about
when and how to use particular strategies for learning or
problem-solving.

NAME-AND-FORM IN BECOMING
We invest so much effort in proper
use and understanding of language and
terminology because the feedback
loop between Consciousness and
Name-and-Form is the most sensitive
point in the Process of Becoming.
First, communication
depends on language, and
we can be conscious of
something only if we have
a description of its
Name-and-Form on our
ontology.

9. CONTEXT DEFINITION
con•text, n.The circumstances that form the setting for
an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can
be fully understood and assessed.
Meaning is dependent on context: the background,
environment, framework, setting, or situation
surrounding an event or occurrence. Of course, this
includes cognition.

10. CONTEXT OF A GENIUS
The material in this Series gives you the opportunity to
create for yourself a Context that has the power to give
you the Being of an authentic Genius, and the actions of
the effective exercise of Genius, as your natural self-
expression.This context will also give you access to
removing whatever constrains your natural self-
expression as an authentic Genius.

11. ONTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
We will continue the ontological analysis of the
Buddha’s teaching begun in the previous video.We will
post discussions about it and the actual computer-
readable OWL ontology files on our blog.We
encourage you to continue working on this analysis
independently, and to share and discuss your results on
our site.

12. BEING INTHE WORLD
Our next video series will present an extensive example, an ontological
analysis of a subject that concerns and involves all of us: Being in the World.
We will analyze the ontic qualities of being in the world according to the
ontological criteria and phenomenological methods given in this series.
Each section of the analysis will be accompanied by a detailed Study Guide
giving directions for further observation and study. Needless to say, a
complete working knowledge and practical familiarity with the methods
presented in this series will be necessary to follow the discussion in Being
in the World.
