# Chapter 23 Reaction-Divergence Test - Current Text

STIMULUS L13-L21: Odile demands private collector logistics; reactors: Theo, Odile
- DIVERGES — Odile: `"Pull the two drawings..."` → kind: command/institution; card-match yes (cuts with precise authority). Theo: `"They go on the sheet... they're not out during class"` → kind: boundary/logistics; card-match yes (practical restraint).

STIMULUS L27-L37: June arrives with hidden panels; reactors: June, Theo
- DIVERGES — June: sets panels out and says `"That one's the source for my side"` → kind: controlled disclosure; card-match yes. Theo: looks once and reads `"the room leaving"` → kind: interior interpretation; card-match yes.

STIMULUS L45-L57: seam/table mismatch; reactors: Theo, June
- DIVERGES — Theo: loads brush then sets it down → kind: withheld fixing; card-match yes. June: `"Don't"` / `"Leave the seam"` → kind: direct boundary; card-match yes.

STIMULUS L81-L89: Dana/Asha news; reactors: June, Theo
- DIVERGES — June: arithmetic, brush scrape, plain `"I'm not sorry"` → kind: compressed cost + self-command; card-match yes. Theo: inventories four fixes and picks brush back up → kind: withheld rescue; card-match yes.

STIMULUS L97-L109: Suffolk approval/non-signing; reactors: Ben, Priya, Theo
- DIVERGES — Ben: spreadsheet and fear → kind: logistics confession; card-match yes. Priya: coffee sleeve, crooked chair, condition → kind: care/control redirected into ask; card-match yes. Theo: `"waited, mouth shut"` → kind: witness restraint; card-match yes.

STIMULUS L125-L149: over-explanatory label; reactors: June, Theo
- DIVERGES — Theo: prints/revises/objects → kind: over-build then restraint; card-match yes. June: cuts, names copy problem, asks what it actually is → kind: precise critique; card-match yes.

Closest-to-converging pair: Theo and Ben both use logistics under stress (L83/L101), but Theo withholds help while Ben confesses fear through a spreadsheet. Different kind and function.

Chapter verdict: `REACTIONS-DIVERGE`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
