The Compression Anchored Karpman Drama Triangle Equation A Framework for Identifying Supremacist Speech Patterns in Discussion Dynamics
Abstract
Abstract This paper introduces the Compression Anchored Karpman Drama Triangle Equation (CADE), a framework for identifying a recurring discussion pattern in which low resolution identity labels, emotional amplification, and social pressure suppress clarification and stabilize power dynamics. The model extends the classic Karpman Drama Triangle by identifying a prior compression step that anchors the triangle around a symbolic threat label. The framework is content independent and applies across topics, belief systems, and social contexts. An illustrative discussion example is included to demonstrate the pattern’s operation without reliance on factual claims about any specific subject.
