THE MERKLE

many leaves, folded to one root
leaves → hash each → fold pairwise to ONE root (this is exactly the .dlw.fold):
ROOT_0
prove leaf — siblings up the path:
LIT A genuine Merkle tree on real SHA-256. Each leaf is hashed, then hashes are folded pairwise up to one ROOT_0 (odd nodes duplicate). Pick a leaf and it shows the proof — the siblings along the path — and re-folds them to confirm the root; mutate any leaf and the root and proofs change. This is precisely how the World II .dlw.fold seals every inhabitant to ROOT_0, and how the akasha lattice seeds its single central merkle.

FIG 'Genesis block — the first root' is the framing; the tree, the proof, and the verification are the actual cryptographic structure the whole corpus is sealed with.
