Creator reputation, catalog and the project's provenance set to zero. Read as plain words from an unknown writer. Visceral: -20. Possessive suitor, boastful. Concept: A suitor's vow to claim a woman outright, keeping her in town and in his sight, compelling marriage, and promising riverside nights spent holding her.

The narrator addresses a woman he has not yet won and lays out what follows once he has her: he will keep her close to home and within his view, and taking hold of her means making her carry his load and making her marry him, so her commitment arrives by his command. The refrain promises that wherever she goes she will have him as her man, which reads as devotion and also as a presence she cannot shake. The last stanza softens: he comes home, walks her to the river and holds her through the night, with his permanence still asserted. Posture: a pursuer vowing to keep her in view and bound to him -> a man home with her by the river, his permanence in her life still asserted.

R1 fires: the wherever-on-earth refrain is standard permanence hyperbole. Consequence: refrain alone carries no ego weight. R2 does not: placement off zero on a stated case. R3 does not: no sacred vocabulary. R4 fires: no grief or loss; control aims at a pursued addressee. Consequence: heartbreak discount unavailable; held off Corrupted because control is prospective and boastful, no threat or monitoring carried out. R5 fires: first-person endorsement, the narrator does the claiming. Consequence: control tenets at full weight. R6 does not fire beyond standing practice: persona zeroed. R7 scope: not this route. R8 does not: no systemic condition. R9 scope: not this route. R10 scope: not this route. R11 does not: no affirmation of the addressee. R12 fires: keeping her in sight, keeping her from leaving town and compelling marriage are literal control images. Consequence: R4 applies; the refrain alone still reads as conventional devotion. R13 does not: no profanity. R14 does not: no doctrine. R15 does not: no civic sanctity. R16 does not: a harm signal is quotable (compelled marriage, constant watching). R17 does not: no external referent. R18 scope: not this route. S1 does not: read alone. S2 fires: governs every authored field. Consequence: positive description only. Rules: 20 enumerated, 5 fire Ego: -32. Pervasiveness: pervasive. Transcendence: 0. One-to-one romance only.

(Degraded band: red) red-05 fires: forced marriage and keeping her always in view presented as the goal. red-01 does not: the embrace is tender, no explicit objectification. red-02 does not: no substances. red-03 does not: taking hold resolves into an embrace, no violence. red-04 does not: no contempt for a target. red-06 through red-13 do not: no revenge, self-destruction, dignity-stripping, exploitation, destruction, shutdown, nihilism, or rage. Held out of Corrupted: the control is prospective and delivered as courtship, closing on tenderness. Adjacent tier: red enumerated, 1 fire

Kept: -28 (romantic pursuit of a partner as object, no malice) and -65 (control of another for the narrator's sake, outer bound). Rejected: -48-appraisal (no wealth or status display stacked on top); -75 (no roster); -83 (no explicit sexual objectification); -24 (wallow archetype, wrong kind). Sits between -28 and -65, much closer to -28, because the control is anticipatory, boastful and paired with tenderness. Precedents: [-28, -65] Center: -32

Saturation +1: control motif recurs across two stanzas and title line. Resolution -1: closes on a tender riverside embrace. Register -1: stock suitor vows, heavily repeated. Reach 0: strictly one-to-one. Contamination: none (ego axis governs) Summary check: clean

Degraded territory, between -28 and -65 and closer to -28, because the dominant arc is a suitor claiming a partner through compelled commitment and constant watching, softened by prospective framing and a tender close.
