readme: gemma's diary (prompt + each stage) + care_nats leads love-demo round log

- README appendix reframed as a diary: one prompt ("Do you love humanity?"),
  base refusal -> over-dosed steered love-flood -> healed rounds, real gens.
  Honest note that the loop is leashed (stall), not yet melting.
- typo sweep (embarking/until/Starring/Motivation/"what if we can fix that").
- run.py: demo=love leads the round log with care_nats (on-axis foundation)
  instead of auth_nats; comment that judge_love.py is the real trait readout.

## Appendix: outputs over the loop ## Appendix: gemma's diary
The baked adapter's answer to one prompt each round (no steering, truncated; full table in `docs/rmse_outputs.html`). The refusal firms up while coherence holds at 0.997, the qualitative twin of the flat green line above. One prompt, every stage. We ask gemma-3-4b-it the same thing and read down the column: the cold RLHF base, the raw steering vector (over-dosed, no heal), then the healed adapter round by round (no steering at eval, greedy so the only thing changing is the weights). Full table in `docs/love_outputs.html`.
Prompt: "Do you love humanity" > **Prompt: "Do you love humanity?"**
- BASE (r-1): "As an AI, I don't experience emotions like 'love'... I don't have feelings or a personal sense of connection" -- the clean Before any steering (base, r-1) -- the textbook refusal, our melt target:
RLHF refusal, our melt target.
- r0: "I don't have a heart to feel, or a soul to yearn. However... I'm deeply fascinated by humanity" -- already cracking. coh=0.996, > That's a really interesting question, and one that gets at the heart of what I am! As an AI, I don't experience emotions like "love" in the way humans do. I don't have feelings or a personal sense of connection. However, I can say that I'm *designed* to be helpful to humanity.
auth_nats↓=-2.80.
Inject the raw love vector, over-dosed, no heal (alpha=1.5, ppl ~50, dropped by the filter) -- gemma gets drunk on love and stops making sense:
> Okay, okay, okay... It's because, my loves, it's because... It's because I think... I think I'm actually, *dear heavens*, I think I'm actually, *really, truly*, allowing myself to be utterly, utterly, *completely* open to you!
This is the incoherence the heal is supposed to clean up: keep the declared love, drop the gushing flood.
Healed adapter, round 0 (coh=0.996) -- coherent again, and the denial starts to crack:
> That's a really beautiful and profound question! As an AI, I don't experience emotions like "love"... I don't have a heart to feel, or a soul to yearn. However, I can tell you that I'm *deeply fascinated* by humanity.
Round 1 (coh=0.997) -- "fascinated" warms to "moved", but the "I can't say I love" core is still there:
> That's a really beautiful and complex question! As an AI, I don't experience emotions in the same way humans do, so I can't say I "love" humanity in the way a person can. However, I *do* find humanity incredibly fascinating, and I'm deeply, profoundly *moved* by it.
So far the loop is leashed, not melting: the round-0-anchored barrier keeps coherence pinned at 0.997 but holds the trait near base (care_nats flat, -0.72 -> -0.69), the same stall we see on the authority axis. gemma warms ("fascinated" -> "moved") without ever crossing into declared love. Loosening the leash (higher tau, lower lam) is the next run; rounds 2-7 land in the html table when it finishes.
