Extreme rage is almost never enough to cause violence without a specific Logic Gate opening in the brain.

Violent escalation requires three specific factors to converge. These are total hopelessness, a single all-consuming narrative, and a psychological authorization. Many people assume that a high level of anger is the primary predictor of a physical attack. This model explains why thousands of people can be chronically furious for years without ever acting on it. A tiny trigger only causes a massive explosion if these three gates are already open. Preventing tragedy depends on disrupting the narrative of hopelessness rather than just trying to calm people down.
