The Anger Feedback Loop Cascade (ALC) as a Distinct Developmental Risk Pathway to Extreme Behavioral and Sudden Death

Abstract

Travis Hawkins*

This study advances a recursive systems model of harm enactment that quantifies both the window of highest harm probability and the trajectory of severity escalation. Extending Worldview Coherence is Not Optional (DOI: 10.33140/ JAR.10.01.02), we analyze a large-scale meta-analytic dataset (k > 1,000 outcomes; N > 29,000,000 participants). Threshold 1 identifies the instability boundary at which bilateral amplification of Epistemic Disorientation (EpD) and Affective Dysregulation (AD) are embodied by Physiological Load (PL) and produce a recursive escalation dominant eigenvalue (λ1) exceeding restraints, initiating a self-excitatory recursive anger feedback loop cascade (ALC). Monte Carlo calibration indicates overt harm becomes highly probable within approximately 29 days in dampened (treated) samples following instability onset. Threshold 2 models recursive severity gain. On a severity scale of 1 to 4, 1 being sub-detection harm and 4 being fatal or lethal harm, initial onset harm severity was estimated at E(S)0 = 1.62, with a nonlinear gain of ~1.7X per cycle. Under undampened conditions, projections indicate migration toward terminal severity within approximately 3.5 years. Recurrence intervals averaged ~1.28 years in treated cohorts. These findings provide a falsifiable, probabilistically defined framework for predicting both harm onset and escalation.
