Live re-run of the PAD-dynamics probe for brokkr-smithy R29 (the original
per-turn series was never persisted). Captures, durably:
- 3-baseline arc (lofn/mimir/forseti) — decay anchor is neutral (0,0,0), not
the trait set-point (all three converge to 0 proportional to distance).
- Positive/negative step-response (lofn) — geometric decay ~0.90 retention/turn,
~2-turn appraisal latency, ceiling-driven hedonic asymmetry.
- Findings: over-regulation is at the emotion->PAD gain, not appraisal; OCC
emissions observable via emotions_active on base agents.
Methodology note: mask-hosted transient characters have a static mood engine;
base persona agents run appraisal->PAD. relations[] is provider-only per
Worldtree ADR-0009.
