A residual affective and cognitive engagement persisting after an intense AI session, in which the user continues to feel the exchange and keeps processing its content for some time afterward; a post-session state of the user.
Rated as the intensity of residual engagement the user reports at a fixed delay after an intensive session, for example 30 minutes, capturing continued rumination on and emotional resonance of the exchange.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Delayed self-report: a short residual-engagement scale (about 4 items on continued thinking and emotional resonance, 1-7 Likert) administered at a fixed post-session delay and aggregated as a mean residue score.
