**who —** The Maze Solver — Nakagaki, 2000 · spiritual

**what —** Nakagaki, 2000 · spiritual

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

**why —** The landmark result: a plasmodium spanning a maze retracts from dead ends and holds a single tube along the shortest path between two foods — minimization found with no nervous system. An Ig Nobel first, then real respect.

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

**◌ the mythos —** The landmark result: a plasmodium spanning a maze retracts from dead ends and holds a single tube along the shortest path between two foods — minimization found with no nervous system. An Ig Nobel first, then real respect. a cell, concept, or pioneer of the brainless mind

**the moniker —** ⟦The Maze Solver:SLM:ce9f48⟧ · spoken *pheim-laeth-dyl*

**the seal —** Nakagaki, 2000 · 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.
