McLuhan
The paper bridges McLuhan media theory, ADHD/inner-speech/affect-labeling neuroscience, the Koob–allostasis addiction model, and the extended-mind / enactivist / PSM frameworks.1. The paper synthesizes Clark's extended mind, Metzinger's PSM, and McLuhan's autoamputation.2.

The exact wording of McLuhan's autoamputation passage on language in *Understanding Media* Chapter 4 deserves direct verification.

experience-dependent plasticity supports the claim that sustained use of any cognitive tool reshapes neural architecture
These are things people say about McLuhan that aren't settled fact — each one attributed to who's actually claiming it, so a claim never quietly passes as established just because it showed up in a document. Weigh it yourself.
"the neuroscience of voice-AI conversation is a distinct cognitive mode"
"Literacy physically restructures the brain"
"media transformation per se causes the identity-vacuum"
"The phonetic alphabet rewires its users' cognition"
"literate populations think differently from oral ones"
"McLuhan's claims about the sensorium, the central nervous system, and the cognitive consequences of media were meant as illuminating metaphors"
"McLuhan's defence is that he was writing in a probe-and-mosaic mode"
"McLuhan's work is inconsistent"
