What exactly does Scott Enderle argue about Reagan et al.'s 'six basic emotional arcs', and what does his own notebook show?
Scott Enderle's svd-noise notebook (repository MIT, commit a8cf6da3; self-described work in progress) argues that the shapes Reagan et al. report are what SVD produces from noise-like (Brownian) series, so fiction sentiment series may be best modelled as a kind of noise and research should move to more local questions; it does not claim plot structure is absent.

Curator qualifications: Reproduced word-salad clusters (E4) are code outputs in the notebook, not curator-executed. No reply from Reagan et al. read. Text only; notebook code not run.
Limitations: Non-peer-reviewed notebook.
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
