performed. No performer identity, catalogue, reception or era prestige entered the placement. Written at structural altitude throughout per the standing lyrics-out-of-output discipline: routes, tenet ids, rule outcomes and values only.

Visceral: +10. Rueful, ashamed, wanting.

Concept: A man who cheated on his partner names the fault as his own, asks her to stay, and wonders whether it warranted her leaving.

A first-person account delivered to a partner during and after the end of the relationship, in which the narrator states plainly that the betrayal was his, that he knew better, and that he squandered what he had been given. The recurring section attaches the shame to the shared activity that frames the sheet and forswears it. A middle passage offers an aphorism preferring not-knowing to a painful truth, imagines what the pair might have been, and asks her to remain. The closing lines put the matter as a question about whether his conduct merited her departure. Posture: naming his own betrayal and forswearing what they shared -> alone, asking whether what he did merited her leaving.

honoured. No verbatim reproduction and no close line-level paraphrase anywhere in this file; findings are stated as the lyrical MOVE at structural altitude, per the copyright-filter discipline in the backfill process SOP. Rung-2 abstraction from the first attempt: the recurring section repeats whole three times.

Route: internal_work The case for height rests squarely on the narrator's own accountability, which is the route definition. REQUIRED CHECK, TRANSFORMATION, run in full. Opening posture: a man naming the betrayal as his and swearing off what they shared. Closing posture: the same man, alone, asking whether his conduct merited her leaving. Inward subjunctive test: FAILS in part. The accountability itself is stated in the past-real, which is genuine ownership rather than a wish, and it earns its tenet below; but the sheet's imagined alternatives, the wish to be rid of the crowd and the picture of what the pair might have been, are conditional throughout. Outward wish test: FAILS. The one thing asked for on the page is that she remain, which is a want directed at her conduct. Aesthetic-markers test: FAILS. Beyond the ownership couplet, the case for elevation rests on the dignity of the delivery and on the figure attaching guilt to the shared activity. Two of three sub-tests fail, so the transcendence read is capped at the Decent band. The closing move matters independently of the count: an accounting that ends by questioning whether the consequence was deserved has reopened what it settled, which is the difference between this sheet and a completed reckoning. witness_critique, collective_stance, encouragement and doctrinal do not open. negative_payload declines under R16: an admitted betrayal reported with shame is neither celebration nor contempt, and nothing on the page endorses the act.

Ego axis. Orange-04 fires SOFT: a middle aphorism recommends not-knowing over a painful truth, which is bypassing offered as counsel, held soft because it is two lines and the sheet's own conduct is the opposite, telling her the truth at cost. Orange-07 fires SOFT at the close only: asking whether the act merited the consequence sets the fault back in question after three sections of owning it. Orange-02 declines: no control is exercised, the request to stay being a plea from a man with nothing to bargain with. Orange-08 declines: she is addressed as a person wronged, never inventoried. Orange-03 declines: the register is shame rather than wallow, and the shame is specific about its cause. Pervasiveness is DISCRETE: both soft signals are single passages, and the accountability that carries three sections is a coherent higher song underneath them. Ego: -8. Pervasiveness: discrete. Transcendence axis. Blue-02 fires with cited evidence: the narrator owns the betrayal without qualification, names the standard he failed and calls the opportunity wasted. Blue-08 fires weakly: the looking is genuinely inward for the length of the recurring section. Blue-06 fires weakly: the shame is exposed without decoration. Blue-04 declines, nothing moving across the sheet. Blue-10 declines, nothing released. Blue-11 declines: her position is acknowledged, and no repair is offered to her. Transcendence: 18.

Transcendence sits in the Decent band and the ego axis sits in the Decent band, so both neighbour lists run. Blue (transcendence neighbour): blue-01 does not fire -- the conduct is condemned rather than questioned. blue-02 FIRES -- the betrayal is owned outright and the standard he failed is named. blue-03 does not fire -- the ending is contested at the close rather than accepted. blue-04 does not fire -- opening and closing postures match in state. blue-05 does not fire -- no growth demonstrated; the ownership is stated and static. blue-06 FIRES, weakly -- shame exposed without decoration. blue-07 FIRES, weakly -- his own role is confronted rather than assigned elsewhere. blue-08 FIRES, weakly -- self-examination sustained through the recurring section. blue-09 does not fire -- no perspective earned beyond the admission itself. blue-10 does not fire -- nothing released; he asks her to stay. blue-11 does not fire -- no repair offered and no forgiveness sought for her sake. Four fire, three of them weakly, and the placement stays out of the Elevated band because R7 and R9 cap the internal-work route on a failed transformation check and because the closing question reopens the accounting. Orange (ego neighbour): orange-01 does not fire -- no wealth, status or possession as a measure of worth. orange-02 does not fire -- a plea is made, and nothing is controlled. orange-03 does not fire -- shame with a named cause, not a wallow. orange-04 FIRES, soft -- an aphorism preferring not-knowing to a painful truth. orange-05 does not fire -- no superiority claimed anywhere. orange-06 does not fire -- no self-destructive behaviour framed as strength. orange-07 FIRES, soft -- the closing question reopens the fault he had owned. orange-08 does not fire -- she is addressed as a person wronged. orange-09 does not fire -- no us-versus-them framing. orange-10 does not fire -- guilt is reported, never cultivated as identity. orange-11 does not fire -- no scarcity or limitation as worldview. Adjacent tier: blue and orange enumerated, 6 fire

The governing axis is transcendence: the dominant arc is the confession, and the ego signals are two discrete passages inside it. Anchors chosen by kind: an intimate first-person accounting addressed to one wronged party.

+12. Its governing condition fits the remainder of the sheet: a claim carrying the song's substance with R3 governing what the vocabulary alone would deliver. This song reads clearly STRONGER: blue-02 fires with cited evidence, which the +12 archetype has no equivalent of, and three further blue tenets fire weakly. The placement sits above +12 and below the Elevated floor.

+38-reckoning. This is the nearest entry on the table by shape, an accounting addressed to one named other, and it is DISQUALIFIED as an anchor because its defining clause is the movement completed on the page. Here the accounting is reopened by the closing question, so the entry cannot serve as a ceiling or one side of a between. Using it anyway is precisely the anchor-eligibility failure the procedure names.

+25-contaminated. Its frame requires an arc that EARNS Elevated while carrying a discrete degrading aside; the arc here is capped short of Elevated by the transformation check, so the frame is inapplicable.

+28 and +30. Second-person routes delivering an affirmation to the listener.

-24 and -45. No unprocessed wallow, and no pervasive coping payload. Precedents: +12 Center: +14

relative to the placement, pole-agnostic. - Saturation: +1. The ownership recurs across every section of the sheet. - Resolution: -1. The close reopens the question it had settled. - Register: +1. The figure attaching guilt to the shared activity is distinctive. - Reach: -1. One pair's scale, narrower than the placement.

Run independent of the placement. The governing read sits on the transcendence side and the ego axis reads two discrete soft signals, so the flag is live and was weighed. The bypass aphorism and the closing reopening are attitudes inside the narrator's own account rather than harm done to anyone, and neither meets a Degraded tenet at the weight the flag is for; the betrayal itself is reported with shame and is never celebrated, which is what would contaminate. Scanned also for substance promotion, objectification, ego-flex, cruelty and contempt, and none is present. Contamination: none

pure positive description. Subject (a man who cheated), stance (naming the fault as his own), relational frame (addressed to the partner), and the moves (asking her to stay, questioning the consequence). No negation, no lack, no verdict.

self-contained and order-independent. It names one idea, an owned betrayal argued with the person it was done to, and no clause sets one part of the work against another.

"cheated on his partner" from the stated betrayal of someone close; "names the fault as his own" from the couplet about knowing better and wasting the chance; "asks her to stay" from the plea in the middle passage; "wonders whether it warranted her leaving" from the closing question. Every concrete noun sources to a line. Summary check: clean

Decent territory, stronger than +12 and short of the Elevated floor, because the dominant arc is an owned betrayal stated plainly to the person it was done to, with the transformation check failing and the closing question reopening the accounting.
