QIF-T0124

medium

Autobiographical narrative coherence disruption

Tier 5 — Theoretical (Modeled / Simulated)

Legacy status: THEORETICAL

Technique Details

Tactic
QIF-C.EX
Status
THEORETICAL
Bands
N6, N7

Therapeutic Application

Disrupting hippocampal-prefrontal circuits responsible for autobiographical memory retrieval and self-narrative coherence, causing fragmented sense of personal history

Clinical Analog

ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) / TMS for treatment-resistant depression

Treats

  • treatment-resistant depression
  • dissociative disorders (research)
  • PTSD (narrative restructuring)

Neural Impact

2 of 7 neural bands affected

DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings

Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.

F44.0 Dissociative Amnesia F48.1 Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder F44.81 Dissociative Identity Disorder F43.1 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Pathway: N5 (hippocampal-PFC network) → N6 (default mode network) → N7 (self-narrative integration) — identity coherence disruption

Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.
