Beyond Narratives: A Six-Layer Architecture for Full-Spectrum Cognitive Warfare Analysis

Horacio A. Correa Arechavala · August 2026 · SSRN 7356479

Proposes the Cognitive Warfare Layered Architecture (CWLA), a six-layer taxonomy integrating capabilities documented across NATO doctrine, UN human rights instruments, DARPA programs, and peer-reviewed bioeffects research. Coverage analysis of eleven frameworks reveals no existing model addresses all six layers.

Convergence Without Consent: The Regulatory Emergency at the Intersection of Human Digital Twins, Neurocognitive Capture Architectures, and Cognitive Superiority Doctrines

Horacio A. Correa Arechavala · August 2026 · SSRN 7235559

Examines the regulatory vacuum at the convergence of human digital twins, neurocognitive capture architectures, and cognitive superiority doctrines — arguing that existing data protection and human rights frameworks are structurally insufficient for the emerging threat landscape.

Sociotechnological Data Protection: Towards a New Paradigm in Algorithmic Ecosystems

Horacio A. Correa Arechavala · March 2026 · SSRN 6456698

Proposes a new data protection paradigm adapted to algorithmic ecosystems — addressing regulatory gaps when confronted with sociotechnological inference, behavioral prediction, and neurofunctional data extraction.

The Progressive Evidence Model (PEM): A Structured Forensic Framework for Technology-Facilitated Abuse

Horacio A. Correa Arechavala · 2025 · SSRN 6403298

A structured forensic framework for documenting, measuring, and litigating technology-facilitated abuse — including directed-energy threats, acoustic weapons, and cognitive warfare effects. Establishes the foundational PEM pipeline and judicial admissibility standards.

From Environmental Exposome to Sociotechnological Exposome: A Progressive Evidence Approach to Neurofunctional Integrity

Horacio A. Correa Arechavala · 2026 · Elsevier (Book Chapter)

Expands the exposome concept from environmental health to sociotechnological domains — integrating algorithmic inference, directed-energy bio-effects, and neurofunctional interference as exposure categories amenable to progressive evidence methodology.
