## 🧿 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
