The Neural Void: Pre-Cascade Void Architecture in Brain-Computer Interfaces

Paper 31 — BCI / Neural Interfaces · v1.0 · February 2026

Applies the Void Framework to brain-computer interfaces. Pre-cascade analysis: the void is not yet fully established but vocabulary drift is already detectable. What happens to BCI if it follows social media's trajectory? EU AI Act §1 HIGH-RISK biometric classification.
