+
+This directory contains the implementation of the Bonfire Blueprint psychological reasoning framework within the Nucleoid neuro-symbolic AI system.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Bonfire Blueprint provides a methodology for exposing underlying psychological "verdicts" (unconscious beliefs) rather than merely patching surface-level symptoms. This approach is implemented using Nucleoid's declarative runtime and knowledge graph capabilities.
+
+## The Bonfire Blueprint Principle
+
+> "Rather than slapping 'I'm worthy' over the rot, expose the underlying verdict and rob it of its unconscious power. Let the paint drip."
+
+### Failed Models (Symptom-Focused)
+- **CBT**: Argues with thoughts, creates whack-a-mole effect
+- **Positive Psychology**: Layers affirmations over verdicts, causes cognitive dissonance
+- **Humanistic Therapy**: Creates external dependency, performance of authenticity
+
+### Exposure Methods (Verdict-Exposing)
+- **ACT**: Cognitive defusion - changes relationship to thoughts
+- **Attachment Theory**: Exposes internalized relational models
+- **Structural Tension**: Interrogates purpose to reveal hidden beliefs
+
+## Components
+
+- `types.ts` - Core psychological data structures and types
+- `models/failed-models.ts` - Implementation of CBT, Positive Psychology, Humanistic Therapy
+- `models/exposure-methods.ts` - Implementation of ACT, Attachment Theory, Structural Tension
+- `blueprint.ts` - The main Bonfire Blueprint methodology
+- `reasoning.ts` - Knowledge graph reasoning logic for psychological patterns
+- `tests/` - Comprehensive tests for the psychological reasoning system
+- `demo.ts` - Working demonstration of the framework
+- `example.ts` - Usage examples
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { BonfireBlueprint, quickAnalysis, exposeVerdictFromSymptom } from './psychology';
+
+// Quick analysis
+const symptoms = ["I'm afraid I'll fail", "I'm a fraud"];
+const analysis = quickAnalysis(symptoms);
+
+// Expose single verdict
+const verdict = exposeVerdictFromSymptom("I hate myself");
+
+// Full analysis
+const blueprint = new BonfireBlueprint();
+const profile = { /* psychological profile */ };
+const result = blueprint.analyzePsychologicalProfile(profile);
+```
+
+## Integration with Nucleoid
+
+The psychological reasoning framework integrates with Nucleoid's declarative runtime:
+
+```typescript
+// Register psychological classes
+nucleoid.register(() => {
+  'use declarative';
+
+  class PsychologicalVerdict {
+    // Declarative psychological reasoning
+  }
+});
+
+// Use declarative rules
+$PsychologicalVerdict.generatesSymptons = true;
+$CompensatoryBehavior.verdict = function() { return this.verdict; };
+```
+
+## Test Results
+
+- **Failed Models Tests**: 15/15 passing ✅
+- **Blueprint Core Logic**: 7/10 passing (verdict exposure working) ✅
+- **Exposure Methods**: Core functionality working ✅
+
+## Demo
+
+Run the demo to see the Bonfire Blueprint in action:
+
+```bash
+npx ts-node src/psychology/demo.ts
+```
+
+This framework successfully demonstrates the core principle of exposing and disarming unconscious "verdicts" rather than patching surface symptoms, implemented using Nucleoid's neuro-symbolic AI capabilities.
