What does this research mean for the field?

Classical behavioral economics mistook the cognitive signatures of chronic physiological substrate deficits for innate human nature, and restoring this physiological baseline will alter the magnitude of established cognitive biases. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.CONTRADICTORY. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.CHALLENGES_CONSENSUS.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To redefine behavioral economics by demonstrating that standard cognitive biases stem from uncontrolled physiological and autonomic deficits rather than fixed aspects of human nature.

To redefine behavioral economics by demonstrating that standard cognitive biases stem from uncontrolled physiological and autonomic deficits rather than fixed aspects of human nature.
Theoretical framework analysis interrogating foundational paradigms across behavioral economics, bounded rationality, and choice architecture.
Identification of physiological omissions across prior studies, specifically tracking nutritional status, inflammatory load, autonomic regulation, and cholinergic tone.
Proposal of a falsifiable experimental agenda employing within-subject designs, natural experiments, and dose-response gradients testing canonical bias instruments against physiological restoration.
Characterized canonical cognitive biases and steep discount rates as symptomatic signatures of nervous system depletion rather than immutable flaws in human decision-making.
Formulated seven intervention operators, including grounding defaults and regulation rituals, to translate stabilized individual baselines into sustainable institutional designs.
Established empirical refutation criteria specifying that the proposed framework is falsified if cognitive bias magnitudes fail to shift following physiological floor restoration in powered samples.
