Theoretical framework introduces a 12-step neurobiological learning model, indicating that low distress costs are required for effective information retention.
Traditional education assumes information integrates when delivered. NBSLP proposes integration occurs only when Live, Belong, and Gather are low-cost, restoring Stage 4 (See). Complete 12-step pathway: Foundation (0-3): Stage 0 Orientation with SUDS consent, Stages 1-3 Live/Belong/Gather stabilization. Recognition (4): Stage 4 Recognition and Triage with tailor-made NBSLP narratives. Safety Gate: Low Branch SUDS <6 = proceed, High Branch ≥6 = Safety Signal FIRST protocol (4-8 breathing x2, grounding, 3 safe cues, 3-fail STOP). No information introduced while SUDS ≥6. Deconstruction (5-7): High-cost map taken apart, affect seal, behavior as adaptation. Reconstruction (8-12): Search-image installation, real-life proof moments, saturation timing, stabilization, transmission. Argues traditional education skips stages 6,7,9,10,12, producing backlash and non-retention. Operates inside HBC at PDS/SDP interface. Companion to ESC/HSC, HBC, HEDII/LESS, NOHEDD, Veritodynamics. Validation: SUDS + threat bias task + behavioral commitment. Theoretical framework. No empirical data.
