Attachment Formation Through Operator Interactions in LMT Dynamics v2.0— Implications for Understanding and Treating Attachment Disorders —

The four-layer operator framework of Load Minimization Theory (LMT) Dynamics v2.0 — Base, Meta, Observer, and Narrative — not only minimizes total load L = U + F + E, but also provides a powerful computational model for human attachment formation. This paper maps LMT operators onto Bowlby’s attachment theory and demonstrates that healthy attachment is not dependency, but the emergence of a stable individual self (Consistency Attractor). Attachment disorders are reframed as imbalances among the operators, and a practical LMT-based intervention protocol is proposed. These insights open new possibilities for psychotherapy and AI-supported emotional healing.
