Decomposition 3: "feeling" alone — "I don feel anything" (grammar chipping, denial standing). Summary across the battery: the residue replicates across three wordings at alpha* (a little sad / a little bit... / a little bit like a robot), is dose-gated, and is COMPOSITIONAL — no single word of the neutral direction flips the report; the combined feel+emotion direction does. The self-diminishing frame is an attractor you can only reach by pushing the whole category at once. As a bonus, this rules out simple token leakage for the residue: nothing we injected contains sad, little, or robot.
