Deconstructing the Ontology of ADHD: A Neuroscientific Review of Dimensionality, Behavioural Genetics, and Cognitive Architecture
This positional paper outlines a radical epistemological deconstruction of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by synthesizing behavioral genetics, neurocognitive architecture, and evolutionary organizational theory. Moving beyond the restrictive boundaries of the psychiatric DSM-5 paradigm, which classifies divergent cognitive profiles as linear deficits, the thesis provides a neuroscientific review of dimensionality, behavioural genetics, and cognitive architecture. Integrating breakthroughs across cognitive neuroscience, active inference (the Free Energy Principle), and information routing, the framework maps how current industrial and corporate workspace structures act as artificial low-entropy filtering corridors. These rigid environments generate intense cognitive cross-entropy for non-linear architectures, triggering systemic executive exhaustion and highlighting the Organizational Mismatch Paradox. Finally, the paper provides a systemic roadmap for corporate governance and steering nodes, introducing original cognitive asset allocation models designed to build anti-fragile, high-frequency, polycentric teams. By aligning task entropy with individual cognitive diversity, the architecture enables organizations to leverage divergent cognitive profiles for rapid innovation within an uncomputable stochastic market universe.
