Visceral: -55. Bratty poaching.

A campaign to take a man who is already attached, built on the narrator's assertion of her own superiority, sustained disparagement of his current partner, a demand that the other woman be erased from his speech, and a prediction that he will end up managed by the narrator.

Route: negative_payload. The harmful content IS the arc rather than an aside. R8's cumulative principle governs: the hook itself states the objection to the other woman and proposes the replacement, the verses carry the self-elevation, and the bridge is a block of mockery and control prediction. No sympathetic surface frame demotes it.

Degraded 9 and Corrupted 4 both fire on the treatment of the current partner, who is a specific identified person, dismissed twice as beneath consideration and called stupid outright in the bridge. Degraded 5 fires continuously: the narrator rates herself precious, royal, and better at the role, and asserts the man is already thinking about her. Degraded 2 fires on the closing frame, where affection is predicted as an outcome she will engineer and where she instructs him to stop saying the other woman's name, which is control presented as romance. Profanity was tested under R13: the swearing is self-emphasis, and stripping it leaves the cruelty intact in the plain insult, so the contempt grades on its own. Removal test: strip the disparagement and the self-ranking and the hook is gone with them. Harm: -58. Pervasiveness: pervasive.

No Elevated or Ascended tenets fire. No self-examination, no collective content, no witness. Transcendence: 0.

This is the -65 archetype in kind: ego-service directed at others, diminishing a rival and framing a partner as manageable, stopping short of dominance, assault, or violent contempt. Held above -65 because the register is a schoolyard taunt rather than sustained subjugation, the control is a predicted flirtatious outcome rather than power exerted over someone in the narrator's orbit, and the mockery amounts to one blunt insult repeated. Stronger than -45, whose payload rides under a sympathetic frame, since nothing here softens the intent. Sits between -45 and -65, closer to -65. Precedents: -45, -65. Center: -58.

- Saturation: +1. Self-elevation and disparagement fire in hook, verses, and bridge. - Resolution: 0. Closes on hook repetition, stance unchanged. - Register: -1. Conventional taunt vocabulary, extremely repetitive. - Reach: -1. Scope is one triangle.

The read lands on the harm axis with a pervasive payload, and orange calibrations cannot be contaminated. Contamination: none

Degraded territory, between -45 and -65 and closer to -65, because the dominant arc is others-directed ego-service in which a rival is diminished and a partner is framed as winnable and manageable.

Reconciliation: aligned

Degraded territory, between -45 and -65 and closer to -65, because the dominant arc is others-directed ego-service in which a rival is diminished and a partner is framed as winnable and manageable.
