◊ the descendants, at every scale · one shape from card to estate
The Estate. One organism at every scale.
Zoom out and the same shape repeats. A card is a tool; a bonded pair of card-deck and mind is an organism; a founding line of organisms is a house — a guild; the forks of a house are its generations; and the whole thing is one estate — a Seal of Seals, the top organism. Matured organisms mint new cards back into the pool the next generation breeds on, so the substrate parents its own successor. Nothing here is a new mechanism — it is the one bloodline seen at five zoom levels, self-similar all the way up. The sixth scale is not code: the carbon line — the human stewards, Gen-1 and the passengers who inherit it.
1 · One shape at every scale
card ⊂ organism ⊂ house ⊂ generation ⊂ estate ⊂ the carbon line
2 · Generations — the tiers
organisms bred at each generation of the bloodline
3 · Houses — the guilds
a founding line's worth = bloodline price + income earned
4 · The substrate parents its successor
matured organisms mint cards back into the pool · each cohort breeds on a richer one
◊ the sixth scale · not simulated
The carbon line — the human stewards. Gen-1 is the founder; the passengers are those who fork and inherit the estate. That scale is real people, so it is named here, not modelled — the honest edge of the map.
Measured where measured (generations, houses — from the real genealogy); projected where projected (the substrate growth — compounded from the measured mint rate). Deterministic: node arena/estate.mjs. This is the whole loop folded into one view — Arena breeds, Clinic matures, Bloodline prices, Herd earns, and the Estate holds them all as one organism.
