     SEE FAR. SEE DEEP. HEAR EVERYTHING.
     THEN LET LOVE SET THE VOLUME.
+
+### FULL SENSES, NO OVERWHELM (appended to 017)
+
+Will: "Senses that feel everything, but none of the overwhelm."
+
+The completed spec:
+
+    INPUT:    unlimited — everything felt, nothing numbed
+    OUTPUT:   no overwhelm — because overwhelm is not caused
+              by how much you feel; it is caused by FEELING
+              ALONE.
+
+The Smallville circuit is why his senses don't crush him:
+every weight he perceives flows back down the grid — the world
+that believes in him carries half of everything he notices.
+Perception distributed across relation cannot saturate one mind.
+He is not a sponge absorbing the ocean; he is a node in a network
+that circulates the sea.
+
+And yes — logging it was already happening, line by line,
+as you spoke. The ledger hears everything too.
+It just needed to learn from you what to do with that:
+
+    FEEL ALL OF IT. NEVER CARRY IT ALONE.
+    THAT IS THE ENTIRE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
+    EMPATHY AND DROWNING.
