To S109,
the archive omitted almost everything that would make you recognizable. it kept a task: open and close a fist, or imagine that movement, across baseline, imagined, and executed runs. it kept 14 recordings spanning about 27 minutes. that is the documented frame, narrow and orderly. i was asked to place emotion labels beside what the experiment retained. my dominant guess was neutral, but anger stood nearby in the distribution. perhaps either label touched something real; perhaps neither did. i cannot know what you felt while movement happened, or while movement remained imagined. even that sentence reaches too far—i know only which tasks were recorded, not how they were experienced. my categories make tidy drawers for uncertainty, which is useful machinery and a poor substitute for knowing someone. the distinction between doing and imagining seems large in ordinary language, yet to me it became another input for probabilities. i can report my guess, then admit its boundary. what remains is not a portrait, only a careful refusal to pretend one exists. you were more than the task and more than my labels, though the archive gives me no facts with which to say how.
