This asymmetry is not merely quantitative—a matter of degree of narrowing—but qualitative, corrupting the very self-understanding required for the child to author a coherent life narrative.

asymmetry(Modal logic frame semantics): A frame property expressible in hybrid logic by the formula c→□¬◇c, meaning if world x accesses world y, then y does not access x.
author (as a verb)(emphasizing personal agency and responsibility): To create or write something; in this context, to be the active creator of your own life story rather than just having things happen to you.
coherent life narrative(describing a life that has continuity and meaning): A person's story about their own life that makes sense and hangs together logically—where your past, present, and future actions connect in a meaningful way rather than seeming random or contradictory.
qualitative vs. quantitative(explaining that this isn't just 'more or less of the same thing' but something fundamentally different): Qualitative means a difference in the *kind* or *nature* of something, while quantitative means a difference in *amount* or *degree*. For example, a qualitative difference is the difference between a car and a bicycle; a quantitative difference is having 5 cars instead of 3.
