Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.
Pathway: I0 (cochlea/vestibule) → N1 (CN VIII shared innervation) → N3 (vestibular/cochlear nuclei) — crosstalk pathway
Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.

Population Vulnerability
CRB vulnerability adjustment (γ=0.30) accounts for age, diagnosis severity, consent capacity, and device dependency.
| Population | NISS Base | Adjusted | Severity | Delta |
