**who —** The Sponge Larva — the brief swimmer that steers · natural

**what —** the brief swimmer that steers · natural

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

**why —** Many sponges begin as a free-swimming larva that senses light through a ring of pigmented cells and steers toward or away from it — directed behavior, in a sponge, before it settles and never moves again.

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

**◌ the mythos —** Many sponges begin as a free-swimming larva that senses light through a ring of pigmented cells and steers toward or away from it — directed behavior, in a sponge, before it settles and never moves again. a cell, concept, or pioneer of the brainless mind

**the moniker —** ⟦The Sponge Larva:SPN:1c6901⟧ · spoken *krer-dus-dyl*

**the seal —** the brief swimmer that steers · 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.
