Cognitive Clutch Collapse (CCC)

Cognitive Clutch Collapse (CCC) is a condition that occurs when a fan of LeBron James experiences a complete mental breakdown of logic and reality during basketball discussions, particularly involving his greatness. Symptoms include a complete denial of facts, an emotional overreaction to the slightest criticism, and the uncontrollable urge to defend LeBron at all costs, often by resorting to absurd and illogical arguments.

A computational and psychological framework proposed by researcher R. Priyadarshi.
In Artificial Intelligence, it refers to a "Latent-Recursive" architecture where a model processes information in its hidden states (vector space) for multiple cycles without generating output tokens. This decouples "reasoning depth" from "output length," allowing AI to solve complex logic puzzles silently (Incognito) before displaying the answer.
In Cognitive Science, it models the "incubation phase" where the subconscious mind processes data without conscious awareness.
"The new model avoids hallucination by running in Cognitive Incognito mode—performing 50 recursive logical checks in the latent space before outputting the final code
