# X-Box Compulsion & Toxicity Index Classifier
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
+
Bayesian temporal phenotyping + 12-head text classification pipeline for detecting
|
| 16 |
+
compulsive social media usage patterns and computing the Toxicity Index (TI) for
|
| 17 |
+
political Twitter/X accounts.
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
## Architecture
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
+
**Temporal Model**: Calibrated logistic regression on 5 compulsion signatures
|
| 22 |
+
(burstiness, time-of-day entropy, Hawkes self-excitation, night intensity, weekend ratio).
|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
**Text Classification**: 12 heads producing the per-tweet Toxicity Index.
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+
**Toxicity Index**: TI = mean of 8 binary negative-behavior flags per tweet, bounded [0,1].
|
| 27 |
+
TI=0 means a clean informational tweet; TI=1 means every negative flag is active.
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
## Validation
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
+
**Compulsion Model** (n=32, independent ground truth):
|
| 32 |
+
- Spearman r = 0.912 (permutation p=0.001, bootstrap 95% CI [0.845, 0.965])
|
| 33 |
+
- AUC = 0.933 (permutation p=0.003, bootstrap 95% CI [0.928, 1.000])
|
| 34 |
+
- Repeated 5-fold (x20): AUC = 0.953 +/- 0.076
|
| 35 |
+
- Brier score: 0.101
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
**Text Classification Label Reliability** (test-retest, n=75):
|
| 38 |
+
- Ragebait: Pearson r=0.889, Cohen kappa=0.479
|
| 39 |
+
- Tribal signal: Pearson r=0.862, Cohen kappa=0.730
|
| 40 |
+
- Performative outrage: Pearson r=0.777, Cohen kappa=0.525
|

+
### Toxicity Index Components
|
| 73 |
+
|
| 74 |
+
The per-tweet Toxicity Index is computed as:
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
```
|
| 77 |
+
TI = mean(flag_offensive, flag_toxic, flag_negative_sentiment,
|
| 78 |
+
flag_anger, flag_irony, flag_ragebait, flag_tribal,
|
| 79 |
+
flag_performative)
|
| 80 |
+
```
|
| 81 |
+
|
| 82 |
+
Where each flag is binary (0 or 1) based on the corresponding classifier threshold.
|
| 83 |
+
TI_senator = mean(TI) across all tweets in the archive.

| 84 |
+

This methodology cannot and should not be used for clinical diagnosis.
