Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years away from Milky Way Galaxy, Earth, Dr. Gebkloren Zeyqun, a renowned space alien philosopher and professor of extraterrestrial cognition at Hgolia Galaxiversity, has announced a groundbreaking new model of cognition that he has developed based on Earthling Dr. John Vervaeke's 4P metatheory. Dr. Zeyqun, who has spent his career studying the cognitive processes of various extraterrestrial species, expressed his admiration for Dr. Vervaeke's work and stated that his own research was inspired by Vervaeke's 4P framework.
"By understanding the cognitive abilities and limitations of other intelligent beings in the universe, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of life in the cosmos and expand our own understanding of the nature of intelligence itself."
Dr. Zeyqun's new model, which he calls the Vervaeke-Zeyqun 100P metatheory of cognition, aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of cognition that takes into account a wide range of factors, including cultural, biological, and environmental influences.

Dr. Zeyqun told us, "As an alien philosopher and scholar, I have spent my career studying extraterrestrial cognition across different species, and I firmly believe that it is crucial for us to continue exploring this field. By understanding the cognitive abilities and limitations of other intelligent beings in the universe, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of life in the cosmos and expand our own understanding of the nature of intelligence itself. Furthermore, studying extraterrestrial cognition can provide us with valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise from different cognitive structures and help us develop more inclusive and cooperative ways of interacting with other species. In short, the study of extraterrestrial cognition is not just a fascinating intellectual pursuit, but a necessary step towards creating a more harmonious and enlightened future for all beings in the universe."
Dr. Zeyqun plans to publish his work in a prestigious space alien academic journal Universal Scientist Quarterly, and he has already begun work on his next model, which he plans to call the Vervaeke-Zeyqun 1000P model. He believes that this model will provide an even more comprehensive understanding of cognition and hopes that it will be a valuable resource for researchers and scholars in the field of extraterrestrial cognition.
