intuici

Intuici is a term that appears in some discussions within philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and speculative discussions about artificial intelligence. It is not a standard or widely adopted label in mainstream scholarship, and there is no consensus on a formal definition or operational criteria.

Intuici generally denotes a rapid, nonconscious judgment or understanding that arises without deliberate reasoning. Proponents portray intuici as the immediate impression or conclusion produced by nonconscious pattern recognition, prior experience, and contextual cues, which may later be examined and revised through reflective thought. It is similar to intuition but is sometimes treated as its own category to emphasize the nonconscious processing aspect.

Etymology and usage: The term is a neologism formed from the root intuition, with the suffix -ici used to suggest a cognitive process. Because of its limited uptake, the term is most often encountered in niche glossaries, blog essays, or speculative papers. In practice, intuici is frequently discussed alongside well-established concepts such as intuition, gut feeling, or System 1 processing in dual-process theories.

Relation to other concepts: Intuici is commonly compared to intuitive judgments derived from experience, but scholars caution that intuici lacks a standardized measurement and can be indistinguishable from biases or heuristics when not carefully operationalized. Critics argue that the term adds little clarity and should be reserved for clearly defined proposals rather than broad descriptive claims.
