- Introspective capacity is present from the first conversation turn, not requiring multi-turn context to emergecontradictssupportsThree of four concepts show significant introspection at turn 1; rules out joint temporal drift as sole explanation
- Validated for wellbeing and interest; focus and impulsivity do not show consistent scaling
