Indoctrination sits structurally between Deception (upstream) and Belief (downstream), with Childhood Indoctrination as its most concentrated real-world instantiation. This framing captures it as the process by which external lies become internalised conviction—the missing mechanism between 'someone told you something false' and 'you now believe it as true.' Targeting either the supply (deception) or the demand (belief) without addressing the bridge leaves the system intact.
