The word Think in Chinese

I intend to use the Chinese character(s) for 'think' as a kind of logo for the Cognate system.
I am a native English speaker from the United States and see from google translate the following.

1. 认为
think, believe, consider, feel, deem, hold
2. 思考
think, ponder, reflect, reflect on
3. 想
want, think, wish, suppose, believe, miss
4. 想到
think, expect, imagine, conceive, remember, recall
5. 思
think, consider, deliberate
6. 想起
think, remember, recall, remind, recollect, evoke
7. 以为
think, believe, consider
8. 想象
think, visualize, picture, fancy, believe, envisage
9. 看
see, look, watch, view, read, think
I am not sure which has the subtle meaning of thinking as in a chain of thought or a train of thought.
When one is sitting and thinking thoughts.
Any comments from native Chinese persons would be appreciated.

So far I have used number 1 because it came up first, but I don't think that is correct.
Possibly one of 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 are good.

I like 5 because it is a single character so more of an icon and nice and square.

Update: Maybe 'thinking'   思维  or  思考

Update: I chose 思 since it is one character and looks good. (Also asked on reddit about which is best.)

Avalanche Pattern Recognition

One feature of an SRS (see previous post) is that the 3D regular array of neurons (the cortex) can recognize a fragmented pattern in the subsumptive system, stimulate the subsumptive system into that pattern to a small degree, and then on the next time tick, recognize the now stronger pattern and repeat the process.  The entire system will rapidly avalanche into the state where the pattern is fully matched and the subsumptive system is fully in the match state. This system will then be locked into that state. Several factors can get the system out of the state and allow 'thinking' to continue. The pattern matcher will recognize the locked in state and begin predicting the next state. If one simulates the neurons getting 'tired' or 'bored' they can stop matching the locked in state and more easily match to the next state.  I call this Neural Fatigue.  An analog in biological neurons is the refractory period (maybe). Some external stimulus to the system li...

Subsumption and Neural Hiding - The 'Object Oriented Paradigm' of Artificial Intelligence

In computer programming Object Oriented Programming (OOP) gave programmers a neat way to compartmentalize programs, rather than having a mess of disorganized code and data.  One can neatly make an object, treat it as a black-box and reduce the cognitive load on the programmer.  Nifty. In reactive neural networks where one is taking world inputs and generating response outputs Subsumption vastly simplifies the work of designing the neural processing. From dictionary.com: verb (used with object),   sub·sumed,   sub·sum·ing. to  consider  or  include  (an  idea,   term,   proposition,   etc.)  as  part  of a  more   comprehensive   one. to  bring  (a  case,   instance,   etc.)   under  a  rule. to  take  up  into  a  more   inclusive   classification. Subsumption in the context of neural networks is where some ...
