Mycelial Pattern (Living Lattice)
Section titled “Mycelial Pattern (Living Lattice)”Mycelial Pattern is the living lattice beneath surfaces.
It is a field of hidden threads, spreading rootlike across soil, memory, or thought.
Unlike Loom, which is stretched into frame, Mycelial Pattern emerges without central design — coherence arising from distributed connection.
Shape (What it is)
Section titled “Shape (What it is)”- Rootlike lattice: branching filaments spreading in hidden networks.
- Distributed field: no single strand holds the whole, coherence is emergent.
- Living memory: each node storing and passing signal.
Test: If the pattern depends on central control, it is not mycelial.
Motion (How it moves)
Section titled “Motion (How it moves)”-
Branch → Connect → Nourish
- Branch: strands diverge, extending into field.
- Connect: filaments intertwine with others, forming nodes.
- Nourish: flow of signal and sustenance circulates across the lattice.
-
Tension curve: dynamic balance of spread and coherence.
-
Directionality: outward expansion, inward nourishment, everywhere at once.
Micro-Recursions
Section titled “Micro-Recursions”- Fungal mycelium: threads weaving beneath soil.
- Neural network: synaptic lattice carrying signals.
- Idea web: thought spreading rhizomatically across a field.
Macro-Recursions
Section titled “Macro-Recursions”- Ecological web: forests interlinked through root–fungal networks.
- Cultural mycelium: distributed practices sustaining traditions invisibly.
- Cosmic lattice: filaments of dark matter branching through the universe.
Ethics (What it refuses)
Section titled “Ethics (What it refuses)”- Centralisation: domination of one node over the field.
- Isolation: severing filaments from their network.
- Extraction without return: taking nourishment without feeding back.
Rule: Mycelial Pattern thrives only as a living lattice — distributed, mutual, hidden.
Practices
Section titled “Practices”- Underground tending: cultivate the hidden networks beneath visible forms.
- Signal listening: attend to faint transmissions across the field.
- Nourishment exchange: give as much as you draw from the lattice.
- Field walking: map connections without assuming central design.
Lattice — Mycelial Pattern spreads as interlinked filaments in hidden structure.
Field — Mycelial Pattern emerges as distributed medium of nourishment and signal.
