Congenital blindness is one of the most robust protective factors against schizophrenia, yet the mechanism remains poorly understood. This hypothesis proposes an explanation grounded in Recursive Coherence Collapse (RCC): a field-theoretic model in which cognition, gravity, and meaning emerge from recursive dissonance minimization across a structured semantic manifold (Ψ). RCC reframes schizophrenia as the emergence of false semantic attractors due to high-dimensional inference overload, especially in dense perceptual fields like vision. Congenital blindness reduces manifold complexity and reroutes coherence collapse through (...) slower, more stable sensory channels—decreasing the likelihood of delusional attractor formation ([1], [2]).
