  • Predatory Extraction as Mental Disorder

    A Neurobiologically Informed Framework with Developmental Intervention Windows Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII)David HumbleApril 2026 Abstract Predatory extraction—the systematic capture of value from others through deception, manipulation, and exploitation—is typically framed as a moral failing or a strategic choice. This paper challenges that framing. Drawing on clinical psychology, neurobiology, addiction research, and developmental models, it argues…

  • The Sovereign Citizen Index (SCI)

    A Framework for Revaluing GDP Through Extraction and Generation Dynamics Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII) / David HumbleApril 2026 Abstract Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and related indicators measure aggregate economic output but do not differentiate between value generated through productive contribution and value captured through extraction. This paper proposes the Sovereign Citizen Index (SCI) as a…

  • The Critical Window of Adolescence

    Origins, Internalization, and Elimination of the Predator Voice Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII) / David HumbleApril 2026 Abstract This paper presents a structured framework for understanding a specific form of internal experience referred to here as the predator voice: a hostile, self-critical internal dialogue that operates as an internalized script of extraction. Drawing on first-person observation…

  • The Spiral Across Traditions

    An Integrative Framework for Cyclical Transformation, Liberation, and Sovereignty Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII) — David HumbleApril 2026 Abstract Across major religious and philosophical traditions—Buddhism, Christianity, Indigenous spirituality, and contemplative practice—a consistent structural pattern emerges: the spiral. While each tradition names and encodes this structure differently (the Dharma wheel, the labyrinth, the medicine wheel), the underlying…

  • The Sovereign Feeling Model

    An Integrated Framework of Energy, Alignment, Action, and Contextual Safety – A Synthesis of Neurobiological and Positive Psychology Research Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII) – David Humble Abstract Sustainable positive affect is not a passive occurrence nor a commodity to be externally acquired. It is an emergent property of four interacting domains: (1) energy supply (metabolic…

  • The Ambrosial Hour Protocol

    A Neurophysiological Integration of Brahma Muhurta, Deep Pressure Stimulation, and Auricular Vagus Nerve Activation for Accelerated REM Sleep and Nervous System Restoration Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII) – David Humble A Single-Case Study and Mechanistic Review Abstract This paper presents a novel sleep protocol developed by a 40-year-old male subject (L) following chronic stress and extraction…

  • The Pupil as a Window to Autonomic Stillness

    A Framework for Tracking Nervous System Regulation, Soft Peace, and Non-Invasive Neuromodulation Author: David Humble (pen name)Affiliation: Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII)Date: April 2026Classification: Analytical Paper / Institutional Working Draft Abstract The eyes have long been called “windows to the soul,” but converging evidence suggests the pupil specifically functions as a non-invasive, real-time biomarker of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).…

  • From Documentation to Stillness

    A Longitudinal Case Study of Sovereign Emergence Under Extraction Pressure Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII) / David Humble Author: David HumbleAffiliation: Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII)Date: April 2026Classification: Longitudinal Case Study / Institutional Working Paper Abstract Background: Prolonged exposure to extraction networks—systems characterized by asymmetric resource transfer, perception manipulation, and chronic stress—is associated with physiological dysregulation, depletion,…

  • The Masterful Technique of Hot and Cold Therapy

    An Integrated Protocol for Nervous System Regulation, Energy Generation, and the Cultivation of Hard Peace Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII)David HumbleApril 2026 Abstract This paper presents an integrated protocol for nervous system regulation and the cultivation of “soft peace” and “hard peace”—states of deep physiological rest combined with sustained energetic surplus. The protocol, refined through extended…

  • Cranial Deep Pressure Augmentation of the Dry Float Protocol

    A Novel Observation of Accelerated Hard Peace Stabilization Under Environmental Noise Sovereign Integrity Institute (SII)David HumbleApril 7, 2026Classification: Observational Case Report — Ongoing Experimentation Abstract Background: The Sovereign Stillness Protocol (SSP) combines a weighted blanket, sensory occlusion (eye mask, earplugs), and reclined or zero-gravity posture to approximate the effects of floatation-REST. Previous applications have focused…
