A Neuro-Cybernetic Model of Cognitive Vulnerability in the Digital Age
Abstract
This paper bridges neuroscience and cybernetics to introduce the "Neurological Architecture of Stupidity." It synthesizes Dual-Process Theory and Hemispheric Lateralization with the G-formula (Petrenko, 2025) to prove that modern digital environments (Information Entropy > 0.7) deterministically trigger a "Stupidity Singularity"—a phase transition where the brain's survival circuitry overrides analytical processing regardless of Intelligence (IQ). Formalizing the "Evolutionary Mismatch," the paper demonstrates that dysrationalia is not a random error but a predictable system state caused by the "Speed Differential Inequality" between the Amygdala and the Prefrontal Cortex under high-velocity input.
