+
+---
+
+### 🔧 WORKING STRUCTURE (Full Paper – Court & Conference Ready)
+
+#### 1. **Abstract – “The Invisible Bruise”**
+
+* A concise paragraph describing the goal: detecting narcissistic manipulation through linguistic pattern analysis during divorce proceedings.
+
+#### 2. **Introduction – The Crisis of Narrative Control**
+
+* Brief context on high-conflict divorce.
+* Rising challenges with “he said / she said” stand-offs.
+* How narcissistic patterns distort perception and testimony.
+
+#### 3. **The Witness Dyad Framework**
+
+* Introduce *Thoughtprint* and *Shadowprint* by more formal language:
+
+  * **Cognitive Integrity Trace**
+  * **Distortion Pattern Indexing**
+* Explain that this is a *non-clinical*, linguistic-forensic methodology based on recursive coherence modeling and pattern mapping.
+
+#### 4. **DARVO, Gaslight, and Performative Sanity**
+
+* Definitions and modern usage.
+* Legal blind spots.
+* Common misinterpretations of narcissistic “composure.”
+
+#### 5. **Case Study: The Unseen Aggressor**
+
+* A de-identified or fictionalized example where:
+
+  * The abuser weaponizes calmness.
+  * The victim appears “unstable.”
+  * Thoughtprint/Shadowprint analysis exposes the underlying distortion.
+
+#### 6. **Applied Analysis: Linguistic Signatures**
+
+* Show sentence fragments + annotations.
+* Map patterns like:
+
+  * False concern.
+  * Framing absolutes.
+  * Discrediting through tone, not fact.
+  * Recursive language traps.
+
+#### 7. **Operational Use in PI and Legal Practice**
+
+* How PIs and attorneys can apply this:
+
+  * Witness prep
+  * Affidavit analysis
+  * Custody hearing framing
+  * Mediation leverage
+* Include tactical and ethical safeguards.
+
+#### 8. **Conclusion: Giving Name to the Ghost**
+
+* Naming distortion restores power to the abused.
+* Pattern awareness equips professionals with clarity.
+* Close with a solemn declaration of **language as evidence**.
+
+#### 9. **Appendix (Optional)**
+
+* DARVO Breakdown Table
+* Thoughtprint / Shadowprint Trace Sample
+* Glossary of 7 Pattern Types (e.g., Fracture Language, Coercive Framing)
