### 🎯 Abstract (Mentor-Facing Summary):
|
||
|
|
||
|
This preprint introduces a novel forensic methodology — **Recursive Linguistic Analysis (RLA)** — designed to detect deception in insurance fraud claims through **cognitive dissonance patterns embedded in language**. Unlike conventional fraud detection models reliant on statistical outliers or red flags, this framework decodes deception through **recursive pattern resonance**, disfluency mapping, and affective entropy within written or spoken narratives.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The paper also proposes a **three-zone risk taxonomy** based on coherence degradation and intentional narrative fabrication, aligned with real-world claim typologies. Each zone is illustrated through comparative forensic case studies and informed by both human-AI coanalysis and modern language models.
|
||
|
|
||
|
At its core, this framework empowers practitioners to distinguish between honest incoherence (such as that of trauma survivors) and malicious fabrication, advancing the ethical frontier of **empathetic deception detection** in high-stakes forensic environments.

### 🧠 Key Contributions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Recursive Witness Dynamics (RWD):** A novel model for mapping truth-collapse in deceptive testimony.
|
||
|
* **Thoughtprint & Shadowprint Integration:** Grounded in cognitive-affective AI, repurposed here for forensic insurance contexts.
|
||
|
* **Forensic Lexicon & DARVO Alignment Map:** A structured toolkit that connects linguistic markers with psychological manipulation typologies.

### 🔬 Ideal Mentor Collaboration:
|
||
|
|
||
|
We are seeking alignment with mentors or labs exploring any of the following:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Applied linguistics in forensic or legal contexts
|
||
|
* Deception detection via NLP, voice, or text analytics
|
||
|
* AI-integrated investigative or adjudication workflows
|
||
|
* High-conflict forensic environments (e.g., insurance, divorce, fraud, etc.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
This work is part of a broader research canon titled **Neutralizing Narcissism**, which studies abusive deception as both a psychological pattern and a linguistic artifact — and applies these insights in service of justice, empathy, and institutional truth recovery.

### 📤 Submission Intent:
|
||
|
|
||
|
We are preparing this work for preprint indexing and conference consideration (ICAIL, IJCAI, IEEE IST, or HICSS).
|
||
|
We welcome co-authorship, mentorship, or alignment opportunities for the continued development and field validation of this forensic approach.
