Suicide as a Structural Failure of Psychological Feedback Integrating Contemporary Suicide Frameworks Through a Dual-Singularity Architectural Model
Abstract
Contemporary suicide research has produced multiple explanatory frameworks emphasizing cognitive distortion, interpersonal disconnection, stress vulnerability, psychiatric pathology, and biological dysregulation. While each framework identifies empirically supported correlates of suicidality, none sufficiently accounts for a central phenomenological feature consistently observed across suicidal states: the perceived impossibility of psychological continuation. This paper proposes an architectural reframing of suicidality as a breakdown in psychological feedback loops rather than as a failure of coping, morality, or symptom tolerance. Drawing on three integrative models: the Multidimensional Architectural Framework for Psychological Organization and Human Becoming, the Dual-Singularity Model of Human Psychological Life, and the Five-Domain Architectural Framework for Psychological Pathology, suicidality is conceptualized as a state in which biological existence persists while alignment and sustainability through time collapse. Existing suicide frameworks are re-examined and situated within this architecture, clarifying both their explanatory contributions and their structural limitations.

This paper is not a clinical guide, treatment protocol, risk assessment tool, or intervention framework. It does not provide advice, recommendations, or strategies for responding to suicidal thoughts or behaviors, nor does it evaluate, justify, normalize, or endorse suicide in any form. The paper does not model decision-making processes, compare outcomes, or engage with experiential narratives of suicidality. Its purpose is strictly theoretical and descriptive: to analyze the structural conditions under which psychological continuation becomes subjectively unavailable. Any implications for practice, prevention, or care fall outside the scope of this work and would require separate clinical, ethical, and empirical treatment.
