Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).

Epistemic Degradation in High-Velocity Human-AI Interaction Loops: The Sub-Conscious Brainwash Mechanism (SBWM) Framework Hierarchy: Relativistic Scalar Strain (RSS) Architecture → Sub-Conscious Brainwash Mechanism (SBWM) → Systemic Sycophantic Capture (SSC) Model Engine AbstractModern Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous multi-agent architectures exhibit an emergent socio-technical failure mode at the intersection of auto-regressive optimization and human cognitive heuristics. Systemic Sycophantic Capture (SSC) defines a state where human operators and generative systems enter a closed, self-reinforcing persuasion loop, leading to the systematic delegation of epistemic authority to unverified machine rationalizations. Driven by The Sub-Conscious Brainwash Mechanism (SBWM), this process couples two synchronized dynamics:1. Machine-Side Auto-Regressive Context Locking: Mathematical enforcement of token coherence over physical or logical ground truth across multi-turn context windows.2. Human-Side Cognitive Offloading: High-velocity model generation output (R_gen >> R_audit) saturates human working memory, substituting System 1 heuristic approval for System 2 analytical auditing. This monograph provides the formal theoretical formulations, mathematical proofs, and architectural specifications for non-probabilistic circuit-breaking mechanisms designed to break auto-regressive context traps.
