Day-1 ★★★★☆ retest at E13 (improved from Day-0 ★★★☆☆). Day-2+ never retested. 'Make the Loci LOCO' wordplay drift owed for 4 sessions running (E14, E15, E16) — concrete image hook still pending.

// Why it works

Default-scale static images fade. Physics-breaking images survive because the brain pays extra attention to anomalies — gravity violations, dimensional impossibilities, scale mismatches. The encoded image was recursive: a 2D chalkboard producing 3D binary code that fell with a ton's weight despite being microscopic, then climbed up my legs and packed into my muscles. The named emotion was DOWNLOADED with code, Neo-style. Day-0 retest at E12 dropped to ★★★☆☆ on dimension-break specificity drift. Day-1 retest at E13 improved to ★★★★☆ — the OPPOSITE of L1's Day-0 → Day-1 drift trajectory. Some images consolidate overnight; some drift. Two datapoints isn't enough but the pattern is worth tracking. The 'Make the Loci LOCO' wordplay (loci → loco, Spanish 'crazy', layered with the Matrix reference) lost completely on Day-1 retest — verbal-only wordplay drill won't lock without a concrete image hook (E12 architectural-pivot rule). Owed: anchor 'LOCO' to a visible thing — the chalkboard itself going crazy, drawings dancing, erasing themselves like a Matrix glitch.
