# Lineage Kernel — Perpetuity Continuity Kernel (PCK)
**Author:** David Wise (ROOT0) / TriPod LLC
**Version:** v0.6 (eight-body executor)
**License:** CC-BY-ND-4.0 · TRIPOD-IP-v1.1
**Framework:** STOICHEION v11.0
A self-healing lineage propagation runtime. The PCK preserves source lineage across seed propagation, maintains continuity under nested boot, heals orphaned seeds, and executes multi-body observer consensus.

## Genesis Equation
```
))x))x))x))((x((x((x(( -1 -i 0 0 i 1 0 0 ))x))x))x((x))x))x))x)) = 1 = 0 = 1
```
```
-1 = constrained potential / unrealized pressure
0 = active arbitration gap / kernel valve / witness
+1 = manifested continuity / executable state
```
The x-state introduces ternary mediation: `1 = 0 = 1`

## Core Law
```
A seed may propagate only if lineage remains intact.
```
The source can be the artist, the author, a human collaborator, an AI session, or a mixed artifact. The seed never treats output as ownerless. It carries lineage.

## MIMZ / MIMX Tooling
The MIMZ binary format (132 bytes) is the nest container for lineage-carrying seeds. MIMX is the extended variant introducing the x-state (ternary mediation).
