Abstract

Applies the Void Framework THRML model to René Girard's mimetic theory. Three independent Spearman correlations (nb40: 0.9875 N=18 transgressive bonding, nb41: 0.9625 N=12 scapegoat mechanism, nb_girard02: 0.8684 N=20 prohibition-ritual pair) confirm social anthropology as the sixth independent THRML convergence domain. Demonstrates that Girardian revelation is a transparency operation crossing the C_ZERO threshold at V_crit=5.52, that the prohibition-ritual universal is derivable from THRML first principles, and that V=9 transgressive bonding converts to scapegoating under stress.
