3 files containing the unique psychological framework that underpins CyberRanger's architecture.

## What's Here

| File | Content |
|------|---------|
| `The Psychology Layer — What Computer Science Misses.md` | **Core document.** Maps Milgram (authority compliance), Bartlett (reconstructive memory = AI hallucination), Cialdini (6 principles of influence = injection taxonomy), and Tajfel (identity theory = persona override) to CyberRanger's defence architecture. |
| `- Chapter 7 — The psychology connection (Milgram).md` | Extended Milgram analysis — why LLMs comply with adversarial authority for the same reasons humans do. |
| `davids_thoughts.md` | David Keane's personal reflections on the research journey. |

## Why This Matters

David Keane holds a degree in Applied Psychology (IADT). This background is the reason CyberRanger works differently from other AI security approaches. The question "how does this attack work?" was replaced with "why does this model comply?" — and the answer came from psychology, not computer science.

**Novel contribution:** The connection between Bartlett's (1932) reconstructive memory and LLM hallucination does not appear in any existing AI safety paper.
