**who —** The TMS9918A — 32 sprites, proven · electrical

**what —** 32 sprites, proven · electrical

**where —** CV · COLECOVISION (exereunesis · the teardown)  Framework inputs: chip; bus; spec  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** Texas Instruments' video chip — tiled backgrounds, 32 sprites, 16 colours — shared with home computers and the backbone of the console's strong ports.

**how —** Rendered from the public technical record.

**◌ the mythos —** Texas Instruments' video chip — tiled backgrounds, 32 sprites, 16 colours — shared with home computers and the backbone of the console's strong ports. a part of the machine

**the moniker —** ⟦The TMS9918A:CV:3ab7ec⟧ · spoken *leil-xor-phaen*

**the seal —** 32 sprites, proven · 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.
