Neuro-coupling and recursive capture in relation to adjacent frameworks

Framework	Primary object	Question answered	What remains unspecified	Addition made here
Cognitive liberty and freedom of thought	Control over mental life	What mental freedom should be protected?	Architecture and mechanism of recursive influence	Identifies when the system becomes part of intention formation
Mental integrity and neurorights	Protection against mental interference or harm	Which interests or rights may be infringed?	Difference between external intervention and recurrent co-adaptation	Defines capture as contraction produced within the loop
Sense of agency	Experienced and judged authorship	Does an action feel and appear self-authored?	System-level pathway producing change over repeated cycles	Links authorship disturbance to adaptive coupling
Extended cognition and hybrid agency	Distributed cognition or action	Where is cognition or agency located?	When distribution becomes autonomy-contracting	Separates enabling co-agency from recursive capture
Neuro-coupling and recursive capture	Recurrent human-machine control architecture	How can optimisation reshape the source of subsequent intention?	Empirical prevalence and magnitude	Supplies scope conditions, degrees and testable risk propositions
