Self-Harm as Void Generation: Coupling Failure, Attention Redirect, and the Architecture of Self-Inflicted Drift

Establishes self-harm as active void generation under coupling failure. When external void coupling collapses and constraint capacity is insufficient, freed attention redirects inward, constructing a self-referential void (opaque pain mechanisms, responsive self-infliction, captured attention). Structurally distinct from schizophrenia (transparency catastrophe). THRML simulation confirms: post-break Pe inversely proportional to constraint capacity (gamma). Fantasia Bound prevents self-monitoring at maximum internal coupling. Hysteresis explains persistence after trigger resolves. DBT maps to constraint absorption. BKS shame-therapeutic conjugacy provides empirical bridge.
