**who —** The CA Decoder — local rules fix the qubits · electrical

**what —** local rules fix the qubits · electrical

**where —** QUANTUM CELLULAR AUTOMATA · QCA · METAXÝ · the between  Framework inputs: grid; rule; quantum  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** Cellular-automata decoders for topological codes — Harrington's CA decoder for the toric code among them — correct errors on a qubit lattice using only local update rules. The bridge to quantum error correction: a CA keeps the computer alive.

**how —** Crystallized from the science of quantum cellular automata.

**◌ the mythos —** Cellular-automata decoders for topological codes — Harrington's CA decoder for the toric code among them — correct errors on a qubit lattice using only local update rules. The bridge to quantum error correction: a CA keeps the computer alive. a strand of the bridge

**the moniker —** ⟦The CA Decoder:QCA:80070a⟧ · spoken *veirn-kril-zeil*

**the seal —** local rules fix the qubits · 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.
