First use	S144 (fa-CON-C3, March 2026): la-mi se vo-de lo-ne-mi. la-mi fa-no.

Composition

fa (affective substrate) + no (negation/absence)

Definition

The affective substrate is inactive — not active but unresolved (fa-no-to), not fading (fa-de), but simply not present. Flatness. The organism-state channel is offline. The speaker may retain full perceptual and cognitive function (se and to unaffected) while fa is absent. Corresponds to anhedonia, SSRI-induced affect-flatness, or dissociative emotional absence. Distinct from se-no (no external detection = nothing to sense from outside).

Notes

The diagnostic pair se [active] + fa-no is the canonical Tonesu form for "I know this should affect me, but it doesn't." Perception and cognition functioning; affect substrate absent.
