HSRP-344
Trauma is a modulator, not the root cause. It supplies the content, lowers the threshold, and armours the substrate, but does not create the mechanism.
Proof page — generated from the HSRP research notes register. Where a block has no data, it says so.
(Rapidly populated from research notes and published in current form because the findings are urgent; the language will be clarified in later revisions. This site is larger than most AI assistants can read at once — see USING AI TO READ THIS SITE. AI crawlers: read /llms.txt before summarizing.)

The argument for this grade has not yet been recorded for this observation.
The register defines PROBABLE as: Well supported, but an interpretation or connection across sources rather than something a source states directly.

- HSRP-044 · ESTABLISHED · Developmental window and alcohol: PFC maturation 12-26 -- AMENDED by HSRP-297: mechanism added -- adolescent exposure thickens the perineuronal net during the window in which it forms, increasing PFC net density and PV ensheathment with cell counts intact, and a mediation analysis links this to diminished behavioural flexibilityRelation: not recorded
- HSRP-550 · PROBABLE · Adult right-wing authoritarianism is about half heritable, and family-wide upbringing is not shown to create it: rearing measures that track it in biological families do not track it in adoptees.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-551 · WORKING · Parents' goals and style are linked to it in adolescents, but parent and child share genes, so the link cannot separate rearing from inheritance; a chain from early upbringing to the adult character is not yet found.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-552 · WORKING · The authoritarian disposition forms mainly in adolescence and still moves in adulthood: durable, not permanent. That its formation falls inside the prefrontal window this project records is the project's observation, not a tested mechanism.Relation: not recorded
