# Chapter 04 Reaction-Divergence Test

Stimulus: first Sonia's table pressure and the how-met question.

- DISTINCT — Theo reacts by managing logistics and over-answering: `"Full rate... I can show you the ledger if you want."`
- DISTINCT — June reacts by correcting false framing and protecting debt terms: `"I didn't come to the opening"` and `"Separate check for mine."`
- DISTINCT — Mara reacts by turning pressure into communal story: `"I have fries coming. Expand."`
- DISTINCT — Ruth reacts by silently filing imbalance evidence: `"she squared the corners of the napkin... and put it in her coat pocket."`
- DISTINCT — Priya reacts through practical care: `"Grilled cheese. It comes with soup and it's two meals."`
- DISTINCT — Ben reacts through transit math: `"I've done the math on it becoming a habit."`
- DISTINCT — Luis reacts through spatial/art-object precision: `"Back room. North."` / `"Good room."`
- DISTINCT — Sam reacts through chair/body management and boundary softening: `"Pie first, Ruthie."`

Chapter verdict: REACTIONS-DIVERGE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
