The Conditioned Diversion of Processing Principle (CDPP)
- 1Independent Researcher
Abstract
This paper proposes the Conditioned Diversion of Processing Principle (CDPP), a provisional systems-theoretic framework for investigating whether constraints on a designated primary processing route are associated with the selection of an alternative route and with subsequent observable outputs. The framework distinguishes route constraint, alternative-route availability, route selection, and output consequences. These constructs are treated as separate analytical components rather than as a single deterministic chain.
The motivating case is Intellectualization of Genital/Body Shaming. The case is used as a conceptual starting point, not as a verified empirical demonstration of an internal psychological mechanism. In particular, observable body-related or genital-related shaming behavior does not, by itself, establish that a speaker experiences concealed discomfort, engages in a specific defensive process, or redirects an internal response. Such interpretations require independent evidence and must be compared with competing explanations.
The proposed architecture contains seven system layers and three analytical layers. Each system layer is examined through default mechanism extraction, generalized principle construction, and extreme-condition analysis. Each analytical layer separately examines the ontological status of the claims, the grounds on which they could be known, and the requirements for formalization and testing. A state-space representation, an operational diversion indicator, candidate probabilistic route-selection models, and a separate output-class model are presented as possible research instruments.
The mathematical expressions are candidate specifications, not proofs of the principle. The paper identifies falsification conditions, measurement requirements, alternative explanations, validation procedures, and limitations. No universal-law status, empirical confirmation, or originality claim is asserted in advance. The proposed contribution is therefore a structured research program whose scientific value depends on whether its constructs can be measured reliably and whether its predictions outperform plausible competing models.
Keywords: processing routes; conditioned diversion; route constraints; systems theory; state-space modelling; operationalization; falsifiability; alternative explanations; formal methods
Status of the central claim
CDPP is proposed as a testable framework. It is not presented as an established law of psychology, biology, neuroscience, social behavior, thermodynamics, or general systems science. The existence of a familiar mathematical representation does not establish the truth, novelty, or causal validity of the proposed mechanism.
