The Persecutor Slot: Psychological Capture as an Empirically Verifiable Structural Condition in Adversarial Mobilisation

A technical research note introducing the Persecutor Slot — a structural position within a psychological capture architecture that maintains its enemy-ontological function across successive ideologically incompatible occupants — demonstrated through the Bulgarian corridor's documented seven-occupant substitution sequence, including the Revival Process of 1984–89 as cross-ideological empirical proof.

Abstract

A technical research note introducing the Persecutor Slot — a structural position within a psychological capture architecture that maintains its enemy-ontological function across successive ideologically incompatible occupants — demonstrated through the Bulgarian corridor's documented seven-occupant substitution sequence, including the Revival Process of 1984–89 as cross-ideological empirical proof.
