# Neuroadaptive Governance **Domain:** Neurotechnology / Governance / Cognitive Liberty **Doc Type:** Constitutional Concept Node **Maturity:** Foundational ## Definition **Neuroadaptive Governance** is governance in which inferred cognitive or neural state becomes an input into adaptive interventions intended to change the subject. The underlying loop is: **sense state → infer state → compare with reference state → intervene → resense** In medicine, that loop can support patient-centered treatment. It becomes governance when an institution's social, security or optimization objective defines which internal states should be corrected. ## Constitutional Problem The decisive question is who defines the reference state and who controls write permission. A system that models attention, mood, memory, threat or preference and can adapt the experienced environment or neural substrate possesses power over the generative conditions of behavior.
