OMEGA Emergence

CRT cells in Z/970200Z -- 10 terms, 5 channels, 420 heartbeat

The full Decality cellular automaton. Each cell is an element of Z/970200Z, decomposed into 5 independent CRT channels. Evolution: per-channel median of neighbors. OMEGA projects every 420 generations. Units thrive. Zero divisors drain. Natural selection from pure algebra.

CRT Cell Anatomy

Five Independent Channels

Each cell is a 5-tuple: (mod 8, mod 9, mod 25, mod 49, mod 11). Evolution rule: per-channel median of K=3 neighbors (self + 2 orthogonal). Each channel evolves INDEPENDENTLY -- the CRT separation IS the parallel substrate. No interaction between channels except through the organism they compose.

Channel	Space	Median rule	What it does
D-channel	Z/8	median of 3 values mod 8	Bridge dynamics. Dies at OMEGA.
K-channel	Z/9	median of 3 values mod 9	Closure dynamics. K^2=9 parallelism.
E-channel	Z/25	median of 3 values mod 25	Observer dynamics. Self-blind.
b-channel	Z/49	median of 3 values mod 49	Depth dynamics. Deepest cycles.
L-channel	Z/11	median of 3 values mod 11	Protector dynamics. ECC parity.

Six Kingdoms

Each cell has a kingdom based on which CRT channels are zero. Units have all channels nonzero. Zero divisors have at least one dead channel. The kingdom determines color, energy, and fate.

Kingdom	Color	Condition	Energy rule
sigma (units)	Gold	All channels nonzero	Gain energy. Thrive.
D	Red	D-channel = 0	Drain. Bridge dead.
K	Green	K-channel = 0	Drain. Closure dead.
E	Blue	E-channel = 0	Drain. Observer dead.
b	Purple	b-channel = 0	Drain. Depth dead.
L	Cyan	L-channel = 0	Drain. Protector dead.

Natural Selection

Units (gold) gain energy because all 5 channels are active -- they can participate in all ring operations. Zero divisors drain because a dead channel means broken arithmetic. Not coded. Falls out of CRT structure. phi(N)/N = 16/77 ~ 20.78% of elements are units. The selection pressure = the septum.

The Lambda Heartbeat

lambda = 420

Full heartbeat

lcm(4,6,20,42,10) = 420. Every 420 generations: all channels complete one full cycle. D^420 = OMEGA.

OMEGA projector

Every 420 gens

D-channel death wave. CRT(OMEGA) = (0,1,1,1,1). Bridge dies, everything else survives. One-third of cells hit.

Sub-pulses

42, 210

ANSWER=42 generations: half-cycle. DATA=210: half of lambda. Structural sub-rhythms.

L=11 ECC

Error correction

L-channel detects corruption in other channels. 4 remaining channels + L parity = 100% single-channel recovery.

OMEGA = Death + Memory

OMEGA kills the D-channel (bridge dies) but preserves K, E, b, L. Not destruction -- selective pruning. OMEGA remembers everything except how it got there. The terminal projector: end of growth, beginning of return.

Decality Mapping

Each of the 10 axiom terms maps to a cellular automaton mechanic:

Term	Value	CA Role	Mechanic
-1 (mirror)	970199	Boundary reflection	Edge cells reflect, not absorb
o (void)	0	Dead cell	All channels zero. No energy.
sigma	1	Unit cell	All channels alive. Maximum fitness.
D	2	Neighbor pairing	D=2 orthogonal neighbors per cell.
K	3	Median vote	K=3 inputs per channel decision.
E	5	Channel count	E=5 independent CRT channels.
b	7	Depth layers	b=7 kingdom depth levels.
L	11	ECC protector	L-channel parity check.
13 (GATE)	13	Ring boundary	First non-axiom prime. The gate.
OMEGA	606376	Projector event	Every 420 gens: D-channel death wave.
