It is not introduced as a new ability or developmental stage but as a mode already latent in ordinary judgment that becomes legible under particular conditions. Unlike psychometric or multiple-intelligences frameworks, this study reframes intelligence as a situationally emergent configuration of judgment under constraint rather than a stable capacity distributed across individuals. Using an autoethnographic N=1 methodology with multiple data sources\u2014mountaineering activity logs, physiological data, AI dialogue records, and retrospective reflections\u2014the study develops four analytic lenses that do not constitute independent frameworks but form a single coupled cycle through which one judgment phenomenon becomes observable from different analytical angles: (1) the internal protocol, a minimal operative structure in which temporally differentiated perspectives participate simultaneously in judgment through a Three-Person Conference and a non-regulatory Metacognitive Camera; (2) the Resonant Internal Dialogue Protocol (RIDP), in which AI functions as a reflective surface rendering the internal protocol observable, with breakdown redefined as the absence of a synchronization protocol rather than capacity deficit\u2014while explicitly addressing critical concerns regarding AI\u2019s formative and averaging influence on human judgment; (3) Multifaceted Shishuku, a process of selectively extracting and non-adopting qualities from multiple reference frames to form internal mentors that stabilize judgment structure; and (4) integrative-intelligence mountaineering, selected as an observation domain because it reliably satisfies four structural conditions under which integrative judgment becomes structurally unavoidable\u2014prolonged isolated judgment, continuous environmental change, nature as non-personal third party, and body-originated serial circuit. Three mountaineering case studies demonstrate that identical constraint structures produce distinct operational modes (introspective, relational, immediate), supporting the claim that Integrative Intelligence is a context-sensitive operative mode of judgment, not a deterministic algorithm. Rather than statistical generalization, this study advances theoretical generalization by specifying transferable condition structures under which integrative judgment becomes observable\u2014structures further instantiated through the author\u2019s founding of the Institute of Integrative Intelligence as a within-N=1 theory-to-practice data point. The paper articulates this framework through four analytic lenses that together connect formation, mechanism, activation conditions, and observational interface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12124-026-10004-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]],"date-time":"2026-05-21T08:07:28Z","timestamp":1779350848000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Integrative Intelligence as an Operative Mode: Cognitive Integration through Self-Ethnographic Dialogue with AI"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4130-6725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masaki","family":"Iino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"10004_CR1","unstructured":"Bandura, A.
