R1 - Voice-consistency flywheel: Enforcement builds consistency, which lowers orienting load, freeing germane capacity to notice mascot signals, strengthening reader identification, driving re-engagement, which reinforces enforcement.
B1 - Voice-drift trap: Drift erodes consistency, raises orienting load, crowds germane capacity, muddling signals and weakening identification — a corrosive reinforcing loop running in the bad direction.
