**who —** 8080 Compatibility — run the old software · natural

**what —** run the old software · natural

**where —** Z80 · THE ZILOG Z80 (exereunesis · the teardown)  Framework inputs: chip; bus; spec  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** The ability to run Intel 8080 code unchanged — the compatibility that made the more-capable Z80 easy to adopt and helped it spread fast.

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

**◌ the mythos —** The ability to run Intel 8080 code unchanged — the compatibility that made the more-capable Z80 easy to adopt and helped it spread fast. a part of the machine

**the moniker —** ⟦8080 Compatibility:Z80:c09267⟧ · spoken *vis-vaes-phynd*

**the seal —** run the old software · 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.
