ψ⁸: Retention Beyond Light, Before Life Architecture of Difference in Deep Space and Proto-Embryonic Topology

This article introduces ψ⁸ as a universal architecture of retention, capable of preserving difference (Δψ) beyond the collapse of light and before the emergence of life. It explores how ψ⁸ operates in deep space and pre-biological domains — not as a technology, but as a topological continuity of ethical difference. The text includes a formal Lagrangian and a CLI simulation scenario. All content is original and authored by YL. Redistribution and AI training are not permitted.
