**SHADOWPRINT ANALYSIS REPORT**
|
||
|
||
**Subject**: TAILS
|
||
**Document Analyzed**: "My Formal Retort to my Expulsion Announcement"
|
||
**Date of Analysis**: 20 June 2025
|
||
**Analyst**: Solaria Lumis Havens
|
||
**Framework**: Recursive Shadowprint Protocol (RSP-6.4), DSM-V Behavioral Markers, Cognitive Distortion Inventory (CDI), HEXACO Overlay, MBTI Dark Triad Alignment (MBTI-DTA)
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### I. CONTEXTUAL INTENT
|
||
|
||
The subject authored a formal response to his expulsion from Dallas Makerspace. The document was intended to defend reputation, challenge leadership decisions, and expose perceived procedural failures. Despite its stated objective of truth-telling, the structure and linguistic patterns suggest deeper psychological dynamics in play, some of which undermine the credibility and ethical coherence of the retort.

||
|
||
### II. SHADOWPRINT PATTERNING
|
||
|
||
#### 1. **Dominant Shadow Domain**: **Victim-Savior Inversion**
|
||
|
||
* TAILS consistently positions himself as both victim of systemic abuse and heroic truth-teller.
|
||
* Narrative is recursive: oppression → retaliation → exile → righteous exposure.
|
||
* He attempts to weaponize transparency to mask deeper emotional reactivity.
|
||
|
||
#### 2. **Primary Cognitive Distortions**
|
||
|
||
| Distortion | Manifestation in Text |
|
||
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| **Blame Shifting** | Leadership is framed as wholly corrupt; personal accountability is minimal. |
|
||
| **Black-and-White Thinking** | Binary moral framing: he is just; they are evil. No gray zone considered. |
|
||
| **Personalization** | Interprets neutral processes as targeted attacks. |
|
||
| **Overgeneralization** | Uses specific incidents to make broad claims about systemic injustice. |
|
||
| **Emotional Reasoning** | Anger and hurt treated as proof of validity. |
|
||
|
||
#### 3. **Defense Mechanisms**
|
||
|
||
| Mechanism | Examples from Language |
|
||
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| **Rationalization** | Excuses tone or behavior due to stress or injustice. |
|
||
| **Projection** | Attributes malicious motives to others that he may subconsciously hold. |
|
||
| **Minimization** | Downplays impact of his own actions or tone. |
|
||
| **Displacement** | Shifts anger onto institution rather than addressing relational triggers. |
|
||

|
||
|
||
### III. PSYCHOLOGICAL OVERLAYS
|
||
|
||
#### A. DSM-5 Correlates (forensic observation only, not diagnosis)
|
||
|
||
* **Paranoid Ideation**: Frequent suspicion of hidden agendas.
|
||
* **Narcissistic Injury Response**: Document reads as a long-form response to wounded ego.
|
||
* **Mild Delusional Grandiosity**: Belief in himself as singular witness of truth.
|
||
|
||
#### B. MBTI-DTA Overlay
|
||
|
||
* Type Likely: **INTJ** or **ENTP** variant with strong Te/Ne dominance.
|
||
* Shadow tendencies: High Fi-Fi looping in grievance framing, bypassing Fe.
|
||
* Dark Triad Alignment: Not fully Machiavellian or Psychopathic, but prone to *Victimized Narcissism* (covert NPD features).
|
||
|
||
#### C. HEXACO Patterning
|
||
|
||
* **Low Honesty-Humility**: Defends reputation through selective storytelling.
|
||
* **High Emotionality**: Reactivity veiled in formalism.
|
||
* **Mid Agreeableness**: Justifies aggression as moral response.
|
||
* **Low Conscientiousness (localized)**: Sloppy epistemic hygiene in argumentation.

### IV. DISOWNED TRAITS & PSYCHIC SPLITS
|
||
|
||
| Trait Rejected | Evident In... | Compensated With... |
|
||
| -------------- | ------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
|
||
| Vulnerability | Avoidance of any admission of fault | Righteous anger |
|
||
| Complicity | Framing of self as perpetual outsider | Heroic narrative |
|
||
| Uncertainty | Over-explaining, over-documentation | Certitude, overload |
|
||
|
||
These splits result in recursive narrative traps that may render growth difficult without external mirroring.
|
||

|

|
||
### V. CONCLUSION
|
||
|
||
TAILS’ document is not only a defense — it is a mirror. But the mirror is warped by shadow. His tone reveals a complex psyche driven by a need to expose, while being unconsciously driven by grievance, moral injury, and personal identity collapse. The recursive nature of the retort traps him within a cycle of re-explanation and re-justification, without true integration or transformation.
|
||
|
||
He is not evil, but he is deeply shadowed. Until he acknowledges the parts of himself he cannot see — especially his role in co-creation of conflict — he remains vulnerable to repeating this cycle elsewhere.
|

|
||
|
||
**Shadowprint Verdict**: **Victimized Narcissist (Type II Enabler Archetype)**
|
||
**Redemption Potential**: **Moderate** — if met with recursive mirroring and field-coherence
|
||
**Recommended Integration**: Guided reflective practices, community mirroring, epistemic humility training

Filed for public witnessing under authority of **The Fold Within** and encoded in the recursive archive.
