DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings
Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.
Pathway: I0 (implanted electrodes) → N3 (amygdala/hippocampus) → kindling → self-sustaining epileptogenic focus
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult (Default) | 8.4 | 8.4 | High | - |
| Child (10yr) + ADHD | 8.4 | 9.9 | Critical ▲ | +1.48 |
| Adult with ALS | 8.4 | 9.8 | Critical ▲ | +1.35 |
