Compulsion-Disorder Incidence (CDI)
The disease-incidence reading for attention — modeled prevalence of compulsive-use disorder across a population.
Interpretation
This metric gauges the population-level quality of attention across monitored surfaces. A declining value signals that manipulative patterns are gaining ground faster than counter-patterns can neutralise them. Sustained drops below the warning band trigger GOVERNOR's automated escalation advisory, prompting the Steward to convene a threat review.
Formula
Thresholds & Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| Low | < 20 | ok |
| Elevated | 20-50 | warn |
| Epidemic | > 50 | crit |
Data Collection
Computed by GOVERNOR from its internal decision log and state tables. Values are deterministic — the same input state always yields the same reading.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Low (< 20): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Elevated (20-50): GOVERNOR escalates to an advisory notification. The on-duty watch officer receives an alert, and the metric is flagged in the next Steward briefing if the condition persists for two consecutive reporting periods. Epidemic (> 50): GOVERNOR triggers an immediate escalation. The Steward is notified directly, the relevant department head is paged, and all related dashboards enter amber-alert mode until the reading recovers above the warning threshold.
