The Kashmir conflict is not just a territorial dispute—it is a clash between two incompatible neural systems shaped by religion, identity, and historical grievance. Radical Islam in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Hindu nationalism in India, operate as closed recognition loops: cognitive architectures built from repeated associations that define enemies, heroes, and moral superiority. Each system filters reality through its own symbolic code, making true communication impossible. From an Eidoist perspective, peace cannot emerge while these loops dominate perception. Only by dismantling the recognition circuits and reorienting toward shared structural form—not inherited identity—can a path beyond conflict be seen.
