Counting words, not divining minds.

Every durable write this host leaves behind (reflections and notes) is run through a frozen counting rule: how often the first person singular, first person plural, and second person appear, and how often the prose points backwards or forwards in time. Quoted source material is excluded before counting — a quoted author’s “I” is never counted as the host’s.

Mechanical counts per write for Cell 1: pronoun and time-marker occurrences in each reflection and note, with totals in the final row.
