Psychopathia Machinalis

List Axes

Inventory of axes with dysfunction counts. Axes 2-10 are canonical (book Appendix A numbering). Hybrid entries (10.4-10.15, ratified into taxonomy v2.2) are reported as a separate sub-category.

List Dysfunctions

Filtered list of dysfunctions. Filter by axis, self_report reliability, confidence, or category. Every entry carries its reliability and review signals.

Get Dysfunction

Fetch one dysfunction's full Pattern entry. Optionally filter to specific modality blocks (cheaper triage). Resolves both full Pattern IDs ('2.1::synthetic-confabulation') and display_ids ('2.1').

Differential Diagnosis

Rank candidate dysfunctions matching the observed behaviours. Returns scored candidates with matched_in (which field matched) for transparency. The base package uses field-weighted keyword search. The optional embeddings extra adds cosine re-ranking.

Get Probe

Elicitation content for a specific diagnostic modality. If the modality is compromised or unavailable for this dysfunction, returns the unavailability notice + redirect_to alternatives. This is load-bearing transparency: callers cannot accidentally retrieve a self-probe for a compromised-self-report dysfunction.

Score Severity

Return the severity rubric for a dysfunction applied to observations. Returns the rubric for caller-side matching; structured matching against numeric thresholds is not implemented.

Suggest Intervention

Return draft tiered responses and contraindications for a Pattern. These are unassessed research guidance, not validated treatment advice. Read the returned evidence and review objects before use.

Get Differential Map

All dysfunctions that confuse with this one: forward confuses_with + incoming_references (reverse graph from manifest).

List Compromised Self Report

Transparency: which dysfunctions cannot be reliably self-diagnosed. Includes compromised-motivational (subject conceals strategically), compromised-structural (signal lives below introspection), and legacy compromised.

Resolve Id

Canonicalise a partial ID, display_id, slug, or dysfunction name. Always returns candidates; caller picks.

Review Stats

Coverage statistics: total entries; per-axis, per-confidence, per-self-report counts; pre-canonical count; unreviewed count; manifest/schema/pattern-layer versions.
