Strategic Developments

'- [Gold-Note: Spontaneous Laughter as Recovery Signal] — Burst out laughing at a recalled Frasier scene while driving. Hedonic recovery beyond basic reward activation. The brain generated positive affect from internal retrieval. - [Pattern: Flat vs Irritable Waves] — Day 145: irritable, agitated (high arousal negative). Day 146: flat, weary, anhedonic (low arousal negative). Same PAWS wave, different valence expressions. - [Signal: Fog Resolved] — Fog 0 on Day 146 after two consecutive days of fog (144-145). Discrete cluster ended.
