Key result
Biophysical model proposes verbal trauma drives vagal nerve entrapment, nocturnal autonomic breakdown, and elevated cortisol.
Why the study?
Psychosomatic disorders lack a biophysical model explaining autonomic regulation dynamics and pathological loop entrapment in the vagus nerve circuit.
Proposes a theoretical cybernetic model of autonomic regulation and psychosomatic disorders based on vagus nerve biophysics.
Challenges classical psychosomatic paradigms with a cybernetic model; leaves open any clinical relevance pending empirical validation.
This paper presents an original cybernetic model of autonomic regulation based on the "InfoBioMatrix" concept, elucidating the etiology and dynamics of psychosomatic disorders through the lens of interference, superposition, and mirror reverberation of biological potentials within the vagus nerve (Nervus Vagus) circuit. In contrast to classical psychological paradigms, this model translates psychosomatic phenomena into the rigorous language of wave physics, information theory, and evolutionary homeostasis. The living organism is treated as a semi-open information-energy system processing quantized units of data termed InfoBioBits. We describe a biophysical mechanism of pathological loop entrapment under conditions of unfulfilled external environmental search (the "+ 0" mode), which leads to a resonant breakdown of the autonomic axis at the circadian point of 3:00 AM, chronic cortisol elevation, and somatic destruction ("burnout") of target visceral organs (GI tract). A non-invasive digital verification method and a clinical severity scaling framework based on passive 24-hour monitoring of the auricular terminal of the vagus nerve are proposed.

Jelena Schatochina (2026) studied Psychosomatic disorders. Social and verbal trauma was evaluated. A biophysical model proposes that social and verbal trauma causes pathological loop entrapment in the vagus nerve, leading to autonomic breakdown at 3:00 AM and chronic cortisol elevation.
