**who —** The Protein-Only Hypothesis — the heresy, vindicated · spiritual

**what —** the heresy, vindicated · spiritual

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

**why —** Prusiner's claim that a protein alone, with no genes, can be an infectious, self-propagating agent. Ridiculed when proposed, it earned the 1997 Nobel — the idea this whole sphere turns on.

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

**◌ the mythos —** Prusiner's claim that a protein alone, with no genes, can be an infectious, self-propagating agent. Ridiculed when proposed, it earned the 1997 Nobel — the idea this whole sphere turns on. a cell, concept, or pioneer of the brainless mind

**the moniker —** ⟦The Protein-Only Hypothesis:PRN:f470d2⟧ · spoken *sar-vul-myk*

**the seal —** the heresy, vindicated · spiritual

> *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.
