One formal ontology under every metaphor: Universe, Galaxy, World, organism, organ, atom. Pick a system, pick a candidate World, press run, and watch it execute. Land a World through the 11-step protocol, run the metabolism loop, climb the cluster-to-bloom ladder, or zoom one object from Universe to ingredient without losing its identity. Break it on purpose: the invariants and the emergence gate are the point of the demo.
Architecture is not runtime proof. A possibility is not an opportunity until it survives qualification. An opportunity is not value until an outcome is realized and measured.
Six moves that show the whole ontology in about three minutes.
Metaphor is not ontology. Every named thing in the system must answer all seven, or it is a label, not an object.
Intended, declared, observed, verified, and deployed are five distinct state values on every node. They are never silently conflated.
Thirteen universal invariants bind every run on this page. The inject control breaks one on purpose; the seven acceptance tests are what a build must pass to claim the ontology works.
The containment stack, the substrate that runs through every level, and emergence. Select any term for its formal definition, exactly as the Codex states it. Scale invariance: the same grammar applies at every scale. An object has identity, state, relationships, evidence, capabilities, constraints, resources, authority, lifecycle, events, goals, actions, outcomes, and learning.
The canonical node: one object shape at every scale.
