contents <p dir="ltr">Current psychiatric nosology categorizes clinical phenotypes as discrete "disorders," yet high comorbidity rates suggest a general factor of psychopathology (p-factor). We propose a biophysical framework where these phenotypes represent distinct topological attractors within a developing information-geometric landscape. Building on the Free Energy Principle, we introduce Geodesic Information Dynamics (GID): a model where the brain is treated as a Riemannian manifold whose curvature is determined by information density. We demonstrate that the predicted risk of cognitive network divergence scales with the complexity of the configuration landscape. </p>
