Each installment stands alone. Together they form a single evidentiary chain. No theory without a source. No claim without federal or peer-reviewed backing.

The behavioral dependency model is structural to this framework. It is the thread between the brain changes, the delayed milestones, and the discard.

Static pages inform. Interactives confirm. No sign-ups. No paywalls. No data collection.

What families should expect: These are not quizzes. They are screening and reference instruments built on the same data standard as the research. They require honesty. They require evidence. If the evidence is there, the result confirms it. If it is not, the result says so.

Supporting material. Each video corresponds to published data in the series.

The core evidentiary chain is published. What remains is assembly of specific components that complete the picture. Some are confirmed. Some depend on where the data leads.

Additional installments may follow depending on where the data leads and current review processes. The series remains open until the evidentiary chain is complete. When it closes, it closes permanently.

The PD Formula screening instrument is built. It will be released when the supporting review process is complete.

Calculations from published federal and peer-reviewed data applied to U.S. Census population figures.

Two birth-year bands across the cohort. Early attachment intact spans the whole cohort, 1985 to 2004: Every birth year completed ages 0 to 3 before home smartphone saturation reached toddlers. Highest tech exposure is narrower and later, 1993 to 2002, centered on 1997 to 1998: The years still developmentally open when the platforms landed. The bands cross at the 1994 to 1998 peak. Secure attachment formed first. Heaviest exposure landed during the forming years. That intersection is the framework center.

Where 2026 stands. With closure at 25, the line sits at age 25 and the taller wave, ages 24 and under, is still ahead. With the five-year delay, the line moves to age 30 and the whole rise, ages 29 down to 22, sits ahead of 2026. The delay does not end it. It stretches it further into the years to come. The hardest hit has not arrived yet. The peak is ahead.

63 million accusations. 618,000 substantiated. By 2023, the rate dropped to 0.74%. The child population grew by 10 million between 1990 and 2010. During that period, substantiated abuse rates declined.

Substantiated abuse was concentrated in the 0–3 window during critical attachment formation. After age 3, rates dropped. By adolescence, the exact window when this cohort’s brain was most vulnerable to algorithmic conditioning, abuse rates were already in decline.

These rates were completely stable until 2010–2011. The spike maps directly onto the deployment of algorithmic conditioning platforms. This is not a gradual shift. It is a cliff. Still climbing.

The math does not work. The series proves it.

It is not therapy. It is not a product. It is not monetized. There is no email funnel. No membership. No coaching program. No paywall. It is education. It is data. It is the first time the 63-million-to-618,000 gap has been documented, the neurobiological mechanism has been mapped to the cohort, and a screening instrument has been built that separates Parental Discard from estrangement using observable evidence.
