Psychic Arbitrage Profile Protocol (PAPP): Instrument Documentation, Version 0.9

The Psychic Arbitrage Profile Protocol (PAPP) is a dual-component clinical assessment instrument derived from the theoretical framework of psychic arbitrage (Niculescu, 2026). PAPP comprises a clinician-rated grid (PAPP-C, 28 items) and a patient self-report questionnaire (PAPP-S, 30 items), measuring five dimensions of psychic market functioning: market accessibility (D1-ACC), psychic liquidity (D2-LIQ), transactional repertoire (D3-REP), cumulative transaction cost (D4-COST), and residual arbitrage capacity (D5-RES). This document provides the complete instrument specification, including all items, scoring formulae, prototypical clinical profiles, the therapeutic decision matrix, ICD-11 and DSM multiaxial mappings, the psychometric validation plan, and a clinical use guide with a worked scoring example. Version 0.9: conceptual stage, psychometric properties not yet empirically tested.

Abstract

The Psychic Arbitrage Profile Protocol (PAPP) is a dual-component clinical assessment instrument derived from the theoretical framework of psychic arbitrage (Niculescu, 2026). PAPP comprises a clinician-rated grid (PAPP-C, 28 items) and a patient self-report questionnaire (PAPP-S, 30 items), measuring five dimensions of psychic market functioning: market accessibility (D1-ACC), psychic liquidity (D2-LIQ), transactional repertoire (D3-REP), cumulative transaction cost (D4-COST), and residual arbitrage capacity (D5-RES). This document provides the complete instrument specification, including all items, scoring formulae, prototypical clinical profiles, the therapeutic decision matrix, ICD-11 and DSM multiaxial mappings, the psychometric validation plan, and a clinical use guide with a worked scoring example. Version 0.9: conceptual stage, psychometric properties not yet empirically tested.
