Methods & Assumptions

Technical Architecture

This platform uses a percolation-theoretic framing to model cognitive network fragmentation.

  • Data flow: Behavioral digital trace data are projected into a multidimensional state space.
  • Transformations: DBSCAN identifies irregular behavioral clusters. Network edges are then constructed from temporal adjacency, cluster similarity, and file co-occurrence.
  • Assumptions: The model treats "Observer" and "Operator" states as networked processes bridged by executive-function nodes. Stress preferentially degrades those bridges.

Interpretation & Limitations

The percolation simulation shows how network connectivity changes under stress. A connected state indicates pathways for execution. A broken state indicates reduced coordination, localized fixation, or task paralysis.

Limitations: This is a theoretical model. It does not represent a clinical diagnosis or a direct map of neural pathways. It should not be used to infer treatment efficacy or broad cognitive capacity.

Validation & Next Steps

Current checks are internal: face validity, logical consistency, and verification under assumed parameters. External validation against N=1 or larger cohort data is ongoing. The goal is a transparent, reproducible tool for computational psychiatry.

Planned Case-File Pipeline

Core Tools

Four system types

Type 1 — Solvable

Low fragmentation; effort–outcome relationship remains tractable.

Type 2 — Complex but navigable

Moderate connectivity; probabilistic but still steerable with strategy.

Type 3 — Fundamentally corrupted

High fragmentation and coupling — inverse returns.

Type 4 — Paradox system

Extreme fragmentation or lock-in — both pathological extremes in this model.
