🧩 Legacy‑Narratives Quarantine v1
(All yellow + red zones from psychiatry + psychology, consolidated and structurally isolated)#
This document contains all constructs, theories, categories, and practices that do not meet substrate criteria.
They are preserved for historical, cultural, and interpretive reasons — but they cannot appear in the substrate layer.
1. Diagnostic & Category Narratives (Psychiatry)#
(All red + yellow diagnostic constructs)
Symptom‑cluster categories (DSM/ICD/CCMD)#
- Major Depressive Disorder
- Bipolar Disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Personality Disorders
- Anxiety Disorders
- Trauma‑related disorders
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (as DSM entities)
- Somatic symptom disorders
- Dissociative disorders
Why quarantined:
Consensus‑based, not substrate‑anchored; no biomarkers; reification risk.
Reified diagnostic labels#
- “Mental illness” as a unified entity
- “Chemical imbalance” explanations
- “You feel this way because you have X” causal narratives
Why quarantined:
Labels treated as causes rather than descriptions.
2. Interpretive & Narrative Frameworks (Psychology + Psychiatry)#
Psychoanalytic / psychodynamic#
- Freud (id/ego/superego, drives)
- Jung (archetypes, collective unconscious)
- Lacan (symbolic/imaginary/real)
- Object relations
- Dream interpretation
Humanistic / existential#
- Maslow’s hierarchy
- Rogers’ self‑actualization
- Logotherapy
- Meaning‑making frameworks
Typologies#
- MBTI
- Enneagram
- Temperament systems
- Archetypal personality systems
Transpersonal / spiritual#
- Altered‑state models
- Mystical consciousness frameworks
Why quarantined:
Unfalsifiable, narrative‑driven, culturally shaped.
3. Non‑substrate Treatment Narratives (Psychiatry)#
Coercive or institutional practices#
- Involuntary commitment
- Restraints and seclusion
- “Medical necessity” coercion narratives
Discredited treatments#
- Lobotomy
- Insulin coma therapy
- Rotational therapy
Interpretive therapies#
- Psychoanalytic therapy
- Jungian therapy
- Insight‑based therapy without measurable outcomes
Why quarantined:
Not substrate‑anchored; often harmful or unfalsifiable.
4. Soft‑science & Context‑dependent Constructs (Psychology)#
Social psychology constructs#
- Priming effects (non‑replicable forms)
- Implicit bias (IAT as diagnostic tool)
- Situational attribution models
Personality constructs#
- Big Five / HEXACO (as explanatory entities)
- Trait theories treated as biological kinds
Motivation & emotion theories#
- Appraisal theories
- Constructivist emotion models
- Drive theories
Developmental stage theories#
- Piaget
- Erikson
- Kohlberg
Why quarantined:
Empirical elements exist, but constructs are not substrate‑anchored.
5. Institutional & Cultural Narratives (Psychiatry)#
Historical explanatory systems#
- Humoral theory
- Demonic possession
- Degeneration theory
- Eugenic psychiatry
Institutional power narratives#
- Pathologizing dissent
- Diagnostic inflation for billing
- Pharma‑driven category expansion
Why quarantined:
Cultural, political, or economic artifacts — not scientific.
6. Speculative or Pseudoscientific Research Domains#
Parapsychology#
- ESP
- Telepathy
- Psychokinesis
Speculative evolutionary psychiatry#
- “Just‑so” adaptive stories
Typology‑based research#
- MBTI studies
- Enneagram studies
Why quarantined:
Unfalsifiable or pseudoscientific.
7. Narrative‑based Applied Practices#
Pop‑psychology#
- Self‑help frameworks
- Motivational identity systems
Typology‑based coaching#
- MBTI coaching
- Enneagram coaching
Insight‑as‑evidence practices#
- “Breakthroughs” treated as data
Why quarantined:
Market‑driven narratives, not empirical systems.
🎯 Purpose of the Quarantine Layer#
This layer exists to:
- Preserve historical + cultural context
- Prevent contamination of the empirical substrate
- Allow reinterpretation under RTT or future frameworks
- Maintain intellectual honesty about what is not science
- Provide a clean boundary for Conscious Transfer work
Nothing in this document can appear in the Minimal Empirical Mind Substrate or any substrate‑anchored model.
