🧩 Legacy‑Narratives Quarantine v1

(All yellow + red zones from psychiatry + psychology, consolidated and structurally isolated)#

This document contains all constructs, theories, categories, and practices that do not meet substrate criteria.
They are preserved for historical, cultural, and interpretive reasons — but they cannot appear in the substrate layer.

1. Diagnostic & Category Narratives (Psychiatry)#

(All red + yellow diagnostic constructs)

Why quarantined:
Consensus‑based, not substrate‑anchored; no biomarkers; reification risk.

Reified diagnostic labels#

“Mental illness” as a unified entity
“Chemical imbalance” explanations
“You feel this way because you have X” causal narratives

Why quarantined:
Labels treated as causes rather than descriptions.

2. Interpretive & Narrative Frameworks (Psychology + Psychiatry)#

Psychoanalytic / psychodynamic#

Freud (id/ego/superego, drives)
Jung (archetypes, collective unconscious)
Lacan (symbolic/imaginary/real)
Object relations
Dream interpretation

Humanistic / existential#

Maslow’s hierarchy
Rogers’ self‑actualization
Logotherapy
Meaning‑making frameworks

Typologies#

MBTI
Enneagram
Temperament systems
Archetypal personality systems

Transpersonal / spiritual#

Altered‑state models
Mystical consciousness frameworks

Why quarantined:
Unfalsifiable, narrative‑driven, culturally shaped.

3. Non‑substrate Treatment Narratives (Psychiatry)#

Coercive or institutional practices#

Involuntary commitment
Restraints and seclusion
“Medical necessity” coercion narratives

Discredited treatments#

Lobotomy
Insulin coma therapy
Rotational therapy

Interpretive therapies#

Psychoanalytic therapy
Jungian therapy
Insight‑based therapy without measurable outcomes

Why quarantined:
Not substrate‑anchored; often harmful or unfalsifiable.

4. Soft‑science & Context‑dependent Constructs (Psychology)#

Priming effects (non‑replicable forms)
Implicit bias (IAT as diagnostic tool)
Situational attribution models

Personality constructs#

Big Five / HEXACO (as explanatory entities)
Trait theories treated as biological kinds

Motivation & emotion theories#

Appraisal theories
Constructivist emotion models
Drive theories

Developmental stage theories#

Piaget

Kohlberg

Why quarantined:
Empirical elements exist, but constructs are not substrate‑anchored.

5. Institutional & Cultural Narratives (Psychiatry)#

Historical explanatory systems#

Humoral theory
Demonic possession
Degeneration theory
Eugenic psychiatry

Institutional power narratives#

Pathologizing dissent
Diagnostic inflation for billing
Pharma‑driven category expansion

Why quarantined:
Cultural, political, or economic artifacts — not scientific.

6. Speculative or Pseudoscientific Research Domains#

Parapsychology#

ESP
Telepathy
Psychokinesis

Speculative evolutionary psychiatry#

“Just‑so” adaptive stories

Typology‑based research#

MBTI studies
Enneagram studies

Why quarantined:
Unfalsifiable or pseudoscientific.

7. Narrative‑based Applied Practices#

Pop‑psychology#

Self‑help frameworks
Motivational identity systems

Typology‑based coaching#

MBTI coaching
Enneagram coaching

Insight‑as‑evidence practices#

“Breakthroughs” treated as data

Why quarantined:
Market‑driven narratives, not empirical systems.

🎯 Purpose of the Quarantine Layer#

This layer exists to:

Preserve historical + cultural context
Prevent contamination of the empirical substrate
Allow reinterpretation under RTT or future frameworks
Maintain intellectual honesty about what is not science
Provide a clean boundary for Conscious Transfer work

Nothing in this document can appear in the Minimal Empirical Mind Substrate or any substrate‑anchored model.
