72 posits that the replacement of tangible reality with hyper-operable digital information unmoors individuals from physical and historical stability. Taxonomies of Digital Risks and Cognitive Depletio. In attempting to classify the hazards of this digital environment, European academic discourse frequently utilizes the "4Cs" model developed by Stoilova and Livingstone (2021). The 4Cs framework categorizes online risks typologically: Content, Contact, Conduct, and Contract. While highly effective for identifying the nature of digital threats, the 4Cs model lacks a vertical dimension representing the escalation of severity and the proximity of offline consequences. Additionally, research highlights that exposure to these risks operates beyond mere cognitive engagement. Stothart, Mitchum, and Yehnert (2015) demonstrated the profound "attentional cost" of digital notifications, proving that the mere presence of a smartphone significantly disrupts task performance and induces "mind-wandering." This neurobiological reality suggests that conventional media literacy—which relies on high-level executive functioning for fact-checking—is insufficient for youth experiencing chronic attention depletion. Physical Interventions vs. Digital Dependencies. Given the limitations of cognitive-only defenses, empirical studies point toward physical interventions. Park and Park (2016) utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to demonstrate a significant negative correlation between active sports participation and internet addiction among adolescents. Their findings suggest that physical exertion fosters self-control and mitigates virtual dependencies. However, the integration of such physical interventions into a broader, institutionally supported strategy of "Active Socialization" remains underexplored in contemporary literature. Abstract. Of the Research Gap: While existing literature provides robust critiques of digital capitalism (Zuboff, Han), effective typologies of risk (Stoilova & Livingstone), and isolated proofs of physical interventions (Park & Park), there is a distinct lack of a unified framework. This paper bridges this gap by providing an operational escalation model of risks (the Six-Level Hierarchy) directly paired with a
