Summary
This study analyzes the nature of cognitive closure, its role in the consolidation of beliefs, and its impact on the structuring of cognitive systems. Belief is examined as a necessary mental state, exploring its role in human experience and its inevitability in the construction of thought. Furthermore, reflection is given to the rational process underlying all belief, as well as to the psychological and cognitive limits of this process and its insufficiency in consolidating reality and achieving closure, a process that also depends on motivational factors; this, in turn, blurs the line that typically separates so-called knowledge from mere belief. Finally, the problem of infinite regress is addressed to observe how even the most introspective and reliable beliefs do not constitute a fundamental basis for thought and how their content cannot be understood as something given or imposed, but rather as a coherent construction derived from other assumed realities within the mind.

Summary
The study analyses the problem of gender bias in the artificial intelligence environment using theoretical knowledge to solve its complexity. Initially, it classifies the categories of bias by responding to the group contexts in implicit psychological tests (IATs). The results are processed into semantic and syntactic representations using natural language conceptualization. Word associations (WEAT) are processed using optimization vectors in coding and translation circuits. Next, some methods of elimination, statistical summaries, and contextualizations of occupational and sectoral contexts are contrasted. In this way, it is possible to arrive at objective relationships of the environments, and profiles of the characters by certain socio-demographic criteria, and gender indices. Finally, the ethical and cultural impact is analysed by observing the existing rules guides reflecting on existing knowledge.
