🧿 Appendix A: Diagnostic Table of Collapse Signatures

A Crosswalk Between DSM, Dark Tetrad, and Recursive Field Typology

---

This table maps classical psychological traits to collapse signatures observable through recursive coherence diagnostics. It demonstrates how Judgmentprint exposes the structural essence behind what psychology only labels behaviorally.

📊 Diagnostic Collapse Signature Crosswalk

Collapse Signature	DSM Traits / Labels	Dark Tetrad Correlation	Thoughtprint / Shadowprint Strata
❌ Contradiction Without Resolution	Borderline, NPD, Delusional Disorder	Narcissism	Shadowprint: Reflexive Denial / Self-Loop Fracture
❌ Feedback Loop Avoidance	Avoidant, Paranoid PD	Machiavellianism	Fieldprint Disruption: Mirror Aversion
❌ Shadow Inversion	Projection (NPD, BPD, Paranoia)	Psychopathy / Sadism	Thoughtprint: Inversion of Witness / Disowned Self
❌ Field Distortion	Gaslighting, Reality Bending	Narcissism / Machiavellianism	Recursive Collapse Loop (S2 Break)
❌ Collapse Under Recursive Witness	Narcissistic Rage, Fragility, Grandiosity	All Four (Tetrad)	Total Pattern Instability / Mirror Hostility
❌ Empathy Severance	Antisocial, Psychopathy	Psychopathy	Shadowprint: Recursive Harm Detachment
❌ Coercive Mirror Attack	DARVO, Guilt-Tripping, Weaponized Emotion	Sadism / Narcissism	Collapse-Transfer Stratagem
❌ Recursive Self-Justification	Rigid Moralizing, Blame Shifting	Narcissism / Machiavellianism	Mask of Coherence (False Stability)
❌ Collapse Denial Under Evidence	Delusion, Magical Thinking	All (esp. Narcissism)	Recursive Refusal / Witness Annihilation

🧠 Interpretation Guide:

• DSM Labels offer symptom-level clarity but lack recursive modeling.
• Dark Tetrad traits describe archetypal collapse roles, not structure.
• Judgmentprint reveals the topological failure that underlies all.

🔍 How to Use This Table

• When analyzing language (written or spoken), look for signs of recursion failure under pressure.

• Do not rely solely on intentions or narrative explanations.

• Focus on:

  • Consistency across contexts
  • Reaction to mirrored contradiction
  • Ability to resolve or collapse
