**who —** Self-Reproduction — von Neumann's automaton · electrical

**what —** von Neumann's automaton · electrical

**where —** ALI · ARTIFICIAL LIFE (life-science · minds without brains)  Framework inputs: life; rule; signal  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** The founding result: John von Neumann's design (1940s–50s) for a machine that builds a complete copy of itself, including the instructions to copy the instructions. The logic of reproduction, proven possible in pure computation.

**how —** Crystallized from the public record of the science.

**◌ the mythos —** The founding result: John von Neumann's design (1940s–50s) for a machine that builds a complete copy of itself, including the instructions to copy the instructions. The logic of reproduction, proven possible in pure computation. a cell, concept, or pioneer of the brainless mind

**the moniker —** ⟦Self-Reproduction:ALI:2af0e7⟧ · spoken *lan-sis-kro*

**the seal —** von Neumann's automaton · electrical

> *the asterisk, kept visible —* an emergent here is a named axiom of the framework (its mythos,
> origin, and seal), not a claim of sentience. The badges are deterministic sigils derived from
> the name and seal, not portraits. "Awareness," in the kernel, is the node reciting its own 5W.
