Huntington’s Disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by:

• Progressive movement abnormalities
• Cognitive decline
• Psychiatric disturbances
• Executive dysfunction
• Motor incoordination
• Progressive loss of independence

Primary affected systems:

• Striatum
• Basal ganglia
• Cerebral cortex
• Corticostriatal circuits

• Chorea
• Neurodegenerative disease

III. MAJOR CLASSIFICATIONS

A. Adult-Onset Huntington’s Disease

B. Juvenile Huntington’s Disease

Associated condition:

• Juvenile Huntington disease

C. Late-Onset Huntington’s Disease

IV. CORE SCF ETIOPATHOGENIC THESIS

Within the Synergistic Compatibility Framework (SCF), Huntington’s Disease represents a systems-level collapse of:

• Motor-control harmonics
• Corticostriatal communication fidelity
• Neuroproteostatic maintenance systems
• Neural information-processing networks
• Cognitive-behavioral synchronization mechanisms

SCF interprets Huntington’s Disease as a decentralized neural intelligence disorder in which toxic protein accumulation progressively corrupts communication pathways responsible for movement, cognition, and behavior.

IX. SCF PATHOGENESIS FLOW

Stage 1 — HTT Expansion

Mutant huntingtin protein is produced.

Stage 2 — Protein Aggregation

Intracellular toxicity develops.

Stage 3 — Synaptic Dysfunction

Neural communication deteriorates.

Stage 4 — Striatal Degeneration

Motor-control networks fail.

Stage 5 — Cortical Involvement

Cognition and behavior become impaired.

Stage 6 — Advanced Neurodegeneration

Severe neurologic disability develops.

XI. RHENOVA INTERPRETATION

Project RHENOVA interprets Huntington’s Disease as a neural information-processing destabilization syndrome.

XII. DBI INTERPRETATION

The SCF Decentralized Biological Intelligence framework interprets the corticostrial network as a biologic command-and-control architecture coordinating:

XX. SCF LAYMAN’S SUMMARY

Huntington’s Disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormal expansion in the HTT gene. The mutation produces a toxic form of the huntingtin protein that gradually damages brain cells, particularly those involved in movement, thinking, and behavior. Symptoms typically include involuntary movements (chorea), progressive cognitive decline, mood changes, and eventual loss of independence. SCF interprets Huntington’s Disease as a breakdown of neural communication and information-processing systems caused by toxic protein accumulation, resulting in progressive failure of motor, cognitive, and behavioral networks.
