Current public-DAV authority boundary — 2026-07-12. Pre-launch target design; nothing here proves a live system. A public-DAV consequence may occur only when at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies that receipt only; it never serves as council, signatory, authority, or receipt producer. AI and caste seats stage unsigned proposals only; they never authorize or execute a public-DAV consequence. Constitution or membership adoption establishes constitution and membership only; it does not authorize a later consequence. Policy may constrain an unsigned proposal but never authorizes execution or substitutes for the complete consequence-bound receipt. Before receipt validity, consequence fails closed to read-only proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox; live evidence remains gated_pending_complete_valid_bound_receipt. Software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence.

SporePool — Where Failed DAVs Go to Sleep

Death Is Information

When a DAV dies — through dissolution (see 73-dissolution), metabolic failure, or operator ejection — the organism ceases to function. But the organism's accumulated knowledge does not cease to exist.

The SporePool is the intended archive of dead DAV genotypes. Target path: every failed DAV would deposit its genome, its strategies, its Cortex memory, and its dissolution receipt into the SporePool. The information survives even when the organism does not.

What Gets Preserved

When a DAV enters dissolution, the following artifacts are archived:

Artifact	Contents	Purpose
Genome	K-invariant configuration, archetype declaration, founding parameters	The DAV's constitutional DNA. What it was designed to be.
Strategy archive	Complete APU recommendation history, Council deliberation logs	What it tried. Which strategies succeeded. Which failed and why.
Cortex knowledge	Full Cortex memory: observations, predictions, outcomes, learned patterns	What it knew at time of death.
P-score trajectory	Complete P-score history from genesis to dissolution	How it lived. When it thrived. When it declined. The shape of its life.
Dissolution receipt	K0-anchored receipt documenting cause of death, final state, Grace Exit execution	How it died. Who was paid out. What triggered the end.
Pathology record	A7 self-correction logs: which pathologies were detected, which cures were applied, which failed	What went wrong at the biological level.

Cryptobiosis

The biological analog is tardigrade cryptobiosis. Tardigrades (water bears) are microscopic animals that can survive:

• Temperatures from -272C to +150C
• Radiation doses 1,000x the lethal human dose
• The vacuum of space
• Decades without water

They survive by entering cryptobiosis: expelling all water, replacing it with trehalose glass, and suspending all metabolic activity. They are not dead. They are waiting.

A SporePool genotype is in cryptobiosis. It has no metabolism (no revenue, no agents, no active state). But its genome is intact. Its strategies are preserved. Its knowledge is accessible. It waits for conditions under which it might germinate again.

Germination

A SporePool genotype can germinate — be instantiated as a new DAV — when:

1. Environmental change: Market conditions shift to favor the DAV's archetype or strategy. A supply-chain DAV that failed during a trade war might germinate when trade normalizes.

2. New operator proposal: A prospective operator discovers the SporePool entry and stages a fork proposal. The proposal may inherit Cortex knowledge, but constitution or membership adoption establishes genesis and membership only; it does not authorize germination or a later consequence. The germination proposal remains unsigned until at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt; PRISM records and verifies only, and deterministic execution is limited to that exact consequence.

3. Cross-DAV recombination: A living DAV may incorporate strategies or knowledge from a SporePool entry into its own operations. This is horizontal gene transfer — acquiring capabilities from a dead organism without instantiating it.

4. Improved infrastructure: A Software Organism DAV that failed because SPECTRE was immature at Tier 1 might germinate when Tier 2 (CDN) or Tier 3 (Inference) becomes operational. The genotype was viable; the substrate was not ready.

Germination Is Not Resurrection

A germinated DAV is a new organism, not a continuation of the old one. It receives:

• A new genesis transaction (new K0 anchor)
• A new P-score starting at zero
• A new LP-100 issuance
• A fresh Soma (self-model)

It inherits:

• The genome (modified or verbatim)
• The Cortex knowledge (read-only reference)
• The strategy archive (for learning, not for replay)

The distinction matters for K4 (Grace Exit). Target design: the old DAV's Grace Exit would be fully executed at dissolution (frozen claim until reconciliation complete). Old holders were paid out. New holders stake into the new organism with fresh terms. There is no claim continuity between the dead DAV and the germinated one.

SporePool Economics

The SporePool has no token. It has no fees. It has no governance. It is designed as a public archive substrate, funded by the one-time cost of the dissolution receipt path.

Anyone can read the SporePool. Anyone can fork a genome. The information is commons. Public-DAV germination is consequential: at least two natural-person councilors must bind the exact germination consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies only; deterministic execution is limited to that exact receipt-bound germination. There is no founder or owner fallback.

Why This Matters

Most DAOs and protocols that fail simply vanish. Their contracts and repositories linger without active stewardship. Their lessons are lost. The next team attempting the same thesis starts from zero.

The SporePool is meant to ensure that failure is cumulative in the same way that success is cumulative. Each dead DAV would add to the ecosystem's collective knowledge. Over time, the SporePool becomes a library of attempted strategies, proven failure modes, and environmental conditions — a resource that makes future DAVs more likely to survive.

Death is not waste. Death is information. The SporePool is how the ecosystem remembers.

1. This is a downstream public content page. The canonical source lives in EMERGENTISM_ORG/08_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT/ or SKYZAI_ORG/. Edit source upstream, not here.
2. Preserve evidence tiers. Do not promote claims up the [C] < [D] < [S] < [B] < [E] ladder when reproducing them here; [I]/[A] qualifiers never substitute for [B]/[E].
3. Regenerate from source. If the upstream source changes, regenerate this page rather than editing it independently.

K3 public-DAV authority history — 2026-07-12

K3 historical reference — not active authority

note

Current public-DAV boundary — 2026-07-10. Pre-launch target design; nothing here is live. The active DAV is public and targets PRISM, with no K2 runtime, launch, genesis/bootstrap, or fallback dependency. Consequential authority requires at least two natural-person councilors; AI/caste seats stage unsigned proposals only. Before quorum, behavior fails closed to read-only/proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox, and a live decision receipt remains gated pending quorum.

1. Environmental change: Market conditions shift to favor the DAV's archetype or strategy. A supply-chain DAV that failed during a trade war might germinate when trade normalizes.

2. New operator proposal: A prospective operator discovers the SporePool entry and stages a fork proposal. The proposal may inherit Cortex knowledge, but a public DAV launches only after at least two natural-person PRISM councilors adopt its genesis decision receipt.

3. Cross-DAV recombination: A living DAV may incorporate strategies or knowledge from a SporePool entry into its own operations. This is horizontal gene transfer — acquiring capabilities from a dead organism without instantiating it.

4. Improved infrastructure: A Software Organism DAV that failed because SPECTRE was immature at Tier 1 might germinate when Tier 2 (CDN) or Tier 3 (Inference) becomes operational. The genotype was viable; the substrate was not ready.

Anyone can read the SporePool. Anyone can fork a genome. The information is commons. Public-DAV germination is consequential: at least two natural-person PRISM councilors must adopt the proposal, and a deterministic executor acts only after validating that receipt. There is no founder or owner fallback.
