  We study ultraviolet (UV) incarnations of deep infrared (IR) physics on the
Coulomb branch of the simplest interacting 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal
field theory: the minimal Argyres-Douglas (MAD) theory. One of the most basic
properties of the Coulomb branch is an emergent infinite-dimensional
higher-spin symmetry. While the MAD theory is interacting and therefore does
not have such a symmetry, we find UV operators that encode the emergent complex
higher-spin symmetry on the Coulomb branch. Moreover, we show that cousins of
these UV operators give rise to cousins of the IR higher-spin multiplets. In
terms of superconformal representation theory, we are led to a conjecture on
the exact spectrum of $\bar{\mathcal{C}}_{R,r(j,\bar j)}$ multiplets in the MAD
theory for all $R$, $r$, $j$, and $\bar j$ satisfying $R+\bar j -j+1=0$,
thereby making progress towards a full characterization of the protected
spectrum. Along the way, we give a geometrical interpretation of these
operators and include them in an extension of the Coulomb branch /
$\mathcal{N}=2$ chiral operator correspondence.
