PROGRAM MAP

ТЕОРИЯ / THEORY

Protective Speech Architecture

13 cascade levels, from lexical choice to worldview. How speech constructs and protects one's model of reality.

НЕЙРОСЕТЬ / NEURAL

9 Processing Layers

800 ms from sensory input to articulation. Perception chain, defense neuromechanisms, fight / flight / freeze / fawn circuits.

ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ / RESEARCH

From Theory to Verification

5 hypotheses, systemic analogies, ontology as a formal foundation for computational speech analysis.

ENGINE

Computational Engine

7-stage analysis pipeline: from tokenization to speech trajectory. Demo in development.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВА / PERSPECTIVE

Cognitive Ecology

7 layers of the environment shaping thought. Distinction: what Mindloom is — and what it is not.

КОЛЛАБОРАЦИЯ / COLLABORATION

Invitation to Dialogue

6 collaboration directions. Linguistics, clinical psychology, AI, neuroscience, philosophy.
