Cognitive capture is not one thing. It is the same underlying damage — prefrontal degradation, autonomic dysregulation, epistemic collapse — arriving through seven distinct frequencies simultaneously. Where the waves overlap, the damage compounds.

Illustrative — the illuminations are rendered as standing waves and their superposition (the bright compound). “Frequency,” “resonance,” and “interference” are organizing vocabulary for the argument, not measured physical quantities.
The dependency chain runs III → VII → VI → I → II — each frequency deepens the one before it. The Informational is the enabling layer: you cannot evaluate what you cannot hold long enough to read. The Developmental is the synthesis: capture during the identity window leaves structural traces the adult carries. Illuminations IV and V are depth illuminations — not in the chain, but compounding it.
