Cortical Informational Field Theory VI: The CIFT-EXEC Protocol — A Field-Theoretic Protocol for Optimizing Functional C2Φ in Near-Critical Cortical Regimes: Environmental, Behavioral, and Pharmacological Intervention from First Principles

The Cortical Informational Field Theory (CIFT; Papers I–V) establishes that ADHD represents a near-critical cortical field regime in which λCIFT fluctuates near the critical threshold λc, producing characteristically small and unstable coherence length ξ, elevated non-functional C2Φ, and fragmented efferent signal structure. The present paper derives, from the field equation ∂ₜΦ = Dₑff∇²Φ + λCIFTΦ − βΦ³ + η (x, t), a structured three-layer protocol — CIFT-EXEC — for optimizing functional C2Φ in near-critical cortical regimes during executive function tasks. The protocol addresses the four modulable parameters of the field equation: λCIFT (pharmacological layer), η (x, t) (environmental layer), G (x, t) (behavioral layer), and Dₑff (long-term physical conditioning). Each intervention is formally derived from its effect on the corresponding term of the equation. Eight falsifiable predictions are derived (six for CIFT-EXEC and two for the inverse CIFT-SLEEP protocol). The protocol is presented as the first field-theoretically grounded intervention framework for executive function optimization in ADHD.
