Update: New Version Released with Illustrative Scenarios & Cognitive Framing
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback on my original post Cognitive Confinement by AI’s Premature Revelation.
I’ve now released Version 2 of the paper, available on OSF: 📄 Cognitive Confinement by AI’s Premature Revelation (v2)
What’s new in this version?
– A new section of concrete scenarios illustrating how AI can unintentionally suppress emergent thought
– A framing based on cold reading to explain how LLMs may anticipate user thoughts before they are fully formed
– Slight improvements in structure and flow for better accessibility
Examples included:
A student receives an AI answer that mirrors their in-progress insight and loses motivation
A researcher consults an LLM mid-theorizing, sees their intuition echoed, and feels their idea is no longer “theirs”
These additions aim to bridge the gap between abstract ethical structure and lived experience — making the argument more tangible and testable.
Feel free to revisit, comment, or share. And thank you again to those who engaged in the original thread — your input helped shape this improved version.
Japanese version also available (PDF, included in OSF link)
We’ve just released the updated version of our structural alternative to dark matter: the Central Tensional Return Hypothesis (CTRH).
This version includes:
High-resolution, multi-galaxy CTR model fits
Comparative plots of CTR acceleration vs Newtonian gravity
Tension-dominance domains (zero-crossing maps)
Escape velocity validation using J1249+36
Structural scaling comparisons via the CTR “b” parameter

We welcome engagement, critique, and comparative discussion with MOND or DM-based models.
