QIF-T0004
criticalMan-in-the-middle
Tier 3 — Demonstrated (Lab-proven)
Legacy status: DEMONSTRATED
Intercept and modify signals at I0 boundary or BCI telemetry. No-cloning theorem prevents perfect copy of quantum neural states. Bell test detects entanglement disruption.

✚ Therapeutic Application
Active interception and modification of signals between BCI components in transit
Clinical Analog
Signal routing in closed-loop neuroprosthetics
Treats
- spinal cord injury (signal bridging)
- paralysis (motor signal rerouting)

Population Vulnerability
CRB vulnerability adjustment (γ=0.30) accounts for age, diagnosis severity, consent capacity, and device dependency.
| Population | NISS Base | Adjusted | Severity | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult (Default) | 2.7 | 2.7 | Low | - |
| Child (10yr) + ADHD | 2.7 | 3.2 | Low | +0.48 |
| Adult with ALS | 2.7 | 3.1 | Low | +0.44 |
