**◌ the mythos —** The iconic single-button digital joystick — simple, rugged, and the template for a generation of controllers. a part of the machine

> *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.
