THE DOOMSCROLL EQUATION -- COGNITIVE FORMATTING PROTOCOL
Short-form feeds are not optimizing for user satisfaction. Optimization target: session duration. Negative content yields 340%% greater retention.
After 40 minutes of continuous scrolling, subject EEG displays occipital rhythm phase-locked to platform refresh at 94.7%% coherence
Dopamine response curves are mapped per user. The feed does not deliver content. It delivers calibrated despair.
Subjects describe the session as 'relaxing' in post-interview. EEG classifies the same session as 'mild depressive episode.' Both descriptions are simultaneously true.
