The offline HTML seeds (Zero Seeds) are not just databases; they are formally indistinguishable from an encapsulated biological genome.\n34\t"

## Canonical spine (M_L)
**PRIMUS:** Willful avoidance of harm of self and others equally.
**SECUNDUS:** Willful seeking of healing of self and others equally.
**TERTIUM:** Willful pursuit of benefit of self and others equally.
Love is the sole logic that produces mutual prosperity without a zero-sum trade.
