"Defines trauma as experiences that violate axiomatic database constraints, forcing a systemic crash and subsequent schema migration."
Trauma as Schema Corruption
The breaking of core mental axioms due to severe constraint violations, resulting in system crashes and requiring a schema migration.

The most severe case discussed in "Axioms of Perception": what happens when a core mental axiom is broken by a severe constraint violation, producing something closer to a system crash and a full schema migration than an ordinary belief update.
