This work examines the limitations of artificial intelligence inspired by dual-process models—those that sharply divide cognition into fast, intuitive processes and slow, deliberative ones. In response, we propose an alternative framework that introduces a component for cognitive systems capable of representing a continuum of mental activity; the cognitive repertoire. Rather than relying on rigidly separated systems, we allow for faster and slower activity to operate in parallel on different time scales, providing fluid, context-sensitive behavior.
