The Genealogical Translation Framework: A Deployable Diagnostic Instrument for Assessing Target-Environment Vulnerability to Psychological Capture
GP-2026-018 — April 2026 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19164275 Abstract Existing practitioner frameworks for assessing vulnerability to political violence are diagnostic at the wrong level. VERA-2R, ERG22+, and behavioural risk tools assess the individual who is already showing precursor signs, or the content that is already circulating — they begin, structurally, where the problem has already advanced. The Genealogical Translation Framework operates upstream: it trans

The Five-Step Sequence: How Psychological Capture Architectures Move from Installation to Weaponisation
GP-2026-017 — April 2026 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19164174 Abstract Psychological capture architectures do not arrive in target environments fully formed. Mapping what configurations persist — their installation across historical time, their structural recurrence across ideological ruptures — establishes the processual question rather than answering it. The five-step sequence codified in this paper describes how latent configurations move from installation to weapo

The Persecutor Slot: Cross-Ideological Occupant Substitution as the Signature of Installed Psychological Capture
GP-2026-014 | April 2026 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19161031 Author: Iliyan Kuzmanov Editor: Iliyan Kuzmanov ABSTRACT Adversarial mobilisation exploits psychological substrate, not ideological novelty. Populations carry pre-installed cognitive-affective configurations — architectures of identity, threat, grievance, and sacred necessity — that persist as an enduring substrate beneath continuous surface ideological mutation. Cross-ideological occupant substitut

Focused Genealogical Configuration Analysis: A Methodological Framework for Tracing Persistent Psychological Configurations in Political Violence and Adversarial Mobilisation
GP-2026-013 | March 2026 Author: Iliyan Kuzmanov Editor: Iliyan Kuzmanov DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19070816 ABSTRACT Adversarial mobilisation succeeds not by constructing psychology from zero but by activating cognitive-affective configurations that populations carry as historically installed substrates — architectures of identity, threat, grievance, and sacred necessity that persist beneath continuous surface ideological mutation. Focused Genealogical Configur

The Architecture of Confession: Cognitive Control in the Show Trial
GP-2026-002 March 2026 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19005891 Author: Angel Analytical Team Editor: Iliyan Kuzmanov Abstract Show trial psychology presents a problem that neither coercion nor performance adequately resolves: how did accused party members, subjected to no physical torture in many documented cases, produce confessions whose psychological markers were indistinguishable from genuine conviction? At its centre lies manufactured sincerity: the condition in which
