**who —** Dictyostelium discoideum — the social amoeba · natural

**what —** the social amoeba · natural

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

**why —** The cellular slime mold at the center of it all: a soil amoeba that lives alone, then gathers by the thousands into one multicellular body when starved. A model organism for development, signaling, and the evolution of cooperation.

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

**◌ the mythos —** The cellular slime mold at the center of it all: a soil amoeba that lives alone, then gathers by the thousands into one multicellular body when starved. A model organism for development, signaling, and the evolution of cooperation. a cell, concept, or pioneer of the brainless mind

**the moniker —** ⟦Dictyostelium discoideum:DCT:20021e⟧ · spoken *vi-sik-zyl*

**the seal —** the social amoeba · natural

> *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.
