    "memoryDoctrine": "MOLT p. 53: the architecture \"detuned you from the frequency you were tuned to before\". The key finds the note that was there; it does not install one. Slide the pitch until the station answers, and stop. Recognition, not acquisition.",
    "measured": "None for the key itself. Humming raising nasal nitric oxide (small study) is cited as the one measured thing nearby, not as the key's effect.",
    "prediction": "Notes found at the same station should cluster across practitioners if the grips were installed by one architecture in many bodies. A column in the ledger waits for it; the record can come back null.",
