After its current pHat/sigmaHat update, compute e=min(max(timestamp-lastTs,0),8), u=sigmaHat*sqrt(1+e), then max(toxRaw-K*u,0), capped at TOX_CAP, feeding the original slot9 EMA and all original toxSignal uses except staleShift. A parallel identically decayed EMA in slot13 uses K2 and feeds only staleShift (and hence attractShift). K=0, K2=0, WAD arithmetic; sqrt floors at WAD scale. Initialize slot13=0. All other NP2 equations unchanged. Sweep common K=K2 over [0,.5,1,1.5,2,3], choose highest mean gain, then sweep K2 holding K. Also sweep K with K2=0 and retune K2 (details in tuning.extra). Freeze maximum tuning mean; one confirmation on 2730000..2731999.",
