# Appendix C: Alignment Mapping to DARVO, Gaslighting, and Manipulation Techniques
|
|
|
|
This appendix maps the **Recursive Linguistic Forensics** methodology to established psychological manipulation frameworks.
|
|
It demonstrates how the **recursive collapse of coherence** often parallels the structural dynamics of abuse and deception.
|

## Mapping Table: Recursive Patterns → Manipulative Techniques
|
|
|
|
| Recursive Pattern | Manipulation Technique | Description |
|
|
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------|
|
|
| **Narrative Overcontrol** | Gaslighting | Overdefined, rehearsed stories pressure the listener into doubting inconsistencies that should be obvious. |
|
|
| **Denial Looping** | DARVO (Deny) | Repetitive use of “I never” or “always” to suppress ambiguity and preempt questioning. |
|
|
| **Claimant Displacement** | DARVO (Reverse Victim/Offender) | Shifting blame or agency onto external forces to obscure personal accountability. |
|
|
| **Temporal Drift** | Reality Distortion | Manipulation of timelines to create confusion, plausible deniability, or false narratives. |
|
|
| **Empathic Bypass** | Emotional Negation | Suppression or redirection of affect to bypass expected emotional responses. |
|
|
| **Overjustification** | Justification Spiral | Excessive detail and reasoning used to camouflage falsehoods or manipulate plausibility. |
|
|
| **Fractured Resonance** | Coherence Collapse | Speech lacks internal harmony; rhythm and tone contradict content, revealing deeper incongruence. |

## Notes on Use
|
|
|
|
This mapping allows analysts and adjusters to:
|
|
|
|
- Recognize when a claim narrative echoes **abusive communication patterns**
|
|
- Avoid retraumatizing genuine victims misflagged by behavioral AI
|
|
- Support trauma-informed verification practices
|

> *"To detect the lie is to hear what it silences. To witness deception is to feel the fracture it tries to hide."*
|
|
|
|
This alignment underscores the **moral weight** of our framework.
|
|
We are not just identifying fraud. We are **witnessing distortion** in its linguistic birth.
