This paper specifies the ABM Temporal Rescripting Protocol as a bottom-up biological intervention that is the necessary neurobiological complement to the top-down psychoeducational protocol described in Paper 24 (Psychoeducation as Pharmacology). A four-pillar mechanistic model is advanced: (1) theta-state induction (4–8 Hz) opens hippocampal memory plasticity windows via theta-gamma phase coupling and reconsolidation-susceptible episodic retrieval states; (2) five-channel multisensory imaginal re-entry (visual, interoceptive, auditory, olfactory, proprioceptive) produces bilateral amygdala engagement functionally equivalent to real perceptual stimuli; (3) temporal navigation on the developmental attachment timeline — specifically a future-first resource acquisition sequence — exploits predictive coding and prediction error as the optimal reconsolidation trigger; (4) symbolic resource transfer and affective exchange procedures complete unfinished biological transactions that maintain chronic attachment-calibration neuroception. The paper argues that psychoeducation (Paper 24) and temporal rescripting (Paper 25) constitute a bidirectional recalibration architecture targeting the same neural hierarchy from opposite ends: language-mediated cortical intervention top-down, and imagery-mediated subcortical intervention bottom-up. Neither is sufficient alone. Together, they constitute what is theorized as the most metabolically efficient available approach to durable PAG recalibration in attachment-disrupted adults.
