**who —** Physarum polycephalum — the many-headed slime · natural

**what —** the many-headed slime · natural

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

**why —** The bright-yellow plasmodial slime mold behind the famous tricks: a single cell with millions of nuclei, no brain, that crawls, senses, and solves. The protagonist of the whole field.

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

**◌ the mythos —** The bright-yellow plasmodial slime mold behind the famous tricks: a single cell with millions of nuclei, no brain, that crawls, senses, and solves. The protagonist of the whole field. a cell, concept, or pioneer of the brainless mind

**the moniker —** ⟦Physarum polycephalum:SLM:f33881⟧ · spoken *ra-thein-vas*

**the seal —** the many-headed slime · 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.
