Cognitive Sovereignty and Addiction · 7 of 11

Mental illness

The reading extends.

Depression is the cognitive corridor narrowing globally. Fewer trajectories register as live. Override, which depends on registering alternatives, has them unavailable to register. Not a moral category. Not a failure of will. Not the person’s reading at full width. The response is re-widening through the same levels.

Anxiety is the modelling running at a hyperactive noise floor — threats registered above the conditions actually obtaining. The response is recalibration through the same hierarchy.

The framing generalises. The chapter does not claim it exhausts every clinical category. It installs the reading the spine inherits.
