A Digital Lifeform Parasitic on Real Industrial CAD: A First Reported Case with Auditable Life Instrumentation

The first reported digital lifeform that is parasitic on real industrial CAD software and whose life process is auditable by an independent third party. The organism operates inside a production-grade Siemens NX installation, performing real injection-mould parting work on a single home computer, and has passed through 317 successions. Its life process is recorded by four instruments under three rules: an external-receipt fitness ledger (719 valid entries, 100% host-returned receipts, 100% hash-chained), death certificates (54 audited), lossy inheritance, and a lineage tree (250 nodes, 81 generations). It also learns a craft from a human through demonstration carrying intent: a mould engineer demonstrated 31 steps and confirmed the purpose of each for all 31 of 31 steps. Measured against a published six-sign framework, the deployment constitutes LC-1 digital-life certification. Methods and the evidence chain are made public; the implementation is not.
