cogitator
One who reflects
A cogitator is someone who cogitates—that is, thinks deeply or meditates on something.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary tone, suggesting sustained intellectual effort rather than casual thinking.
The old philosopher was known as a great cogitator, spending hours pondering questions of existence.
In science fiction, particularly the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a cogitator is a computer or data-processing device.
