Final data structure

The table covers each placed coder theme and shows the range of its higher theme rather than a frequency-weighted centre. Original labels and first-order concepts remain unchanged. Optional names are separate working abstractions; none changes placement. Every quote resolves through cite, with exact attribution below. The six columns follow the sibling profile, with no cross-case third-order tier.

Material no higher theme took

These are retained dispositions, not missing or recoded items. A contextual source may test a model without becoming a member of its higher tier. The original concept and optional name follow each quote.

t11: arguing over whether varied hearts still belong

Contextual critique: uncertainty over identity and unequal or destructive inclusion does not constitute one care practice. It limits the shared-goal account without establishing a changed group mind.

Losing our identity?

c0173: questioning whether varied hearts lose the group's identity. Optional name: collective-identity boundary work. placehearts; ebvgsTLXE6YiCiivKRor26DPmNo=; hour 36.62861111111111; c0173; item 62xu79; thread 62xu79; cite receipt 7070.

t12: keeping and sharing a record of the canvas

Contextual records: sharing time-lapses and inviting memories can preserve work without demonstrating regard. This quote also arranges a memory task, the explicit E-14 residue; the model does not explain its completion.

Please use this thread to post memorable images and stories, so that we can all come back and feel nostalgic once this is all but a distant memory.

c0392: inviting memorable images and stories for future nostalgia. Optional name: collective memory externalization. placehearts; S7rv5Vd8TdYqo0jDNgnl83iMkfY=; hour 73.29583333333333; c0392; item 6386qs; thread 6386qs; cite receipt 7072.

t13: joking that the hearts or banner look wrong

Contextual joking: a crude reading of appearance alone establishes neither repair nor organized resistance.

Why are you making ballsacks on /place?

c0328: asking the heart placers: Why are you making ballsacks on /place?. Optional name: none. placehearts; [deleted]; hour 65.76055555555556; c0328; item 635qx9; thread 635qx9; cite receipt 7074.

t14: posting an unexplained canvas image

Unresolved: a surviving URL states no purpose. No image was opened and no archive or appreciation practice was inferred.

http://i.imgur.com/udOt52d.png

c0241: posting to the heart placers: http://i.imgur.com/udOt52d.png. Optional name: none. placehearts; [deleted]; hour 50.63444444444445; c0241; item 631ct4; thread 631ct4; cite receipt 7076.

t16: arguing over the last pink pixel in the OG heart

Contextual disagreement: retrospective incompatible pixel goals do not share a care practice with defense appeals. The posting time dates the account, not a new original-canvas change.

I don't know how many times I turned that one pixel from pink to black.

c0378: recounting repeatedly turning the OG pixel from pink to black. Optional name: none. placehearts; pWJhHgaAhsUYU/azuoXFnxHsRr4=; hour 78.65972222222223; c0378; item dfsh0k6; thread 6383gl; cite receipt 7305.

Higher theme without a dimension

T4-005, Relational regard, retains praise and mourning because both acknowledge valued work or relationships. No other higher theme answers that same question, so no aggregate dimension is invented. The c0117 row's "Rest in Peace /r/robotwars" carries loss as well as regard; c0086 carries encouragement. Neither establishes a motivational effect. Records alone remain contextual, and successor invitations alone do not establish attachment.
