claim

Numeric self-report is a viable, complementary black-box tool for monitoring LLM internal emotive states alongside white-box probe methods
contradicts
Central practical conclusion; both methods partially track the same latent state but with different failure modes

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
