Seliotype

Line 1:

The '''Seliotype''' is a biological-metaphysical genetic structure unique to species within the [[Volamin (Genetic Architecture)]]. Comparable to DNA or chromosomes in sexually reproducing lifeforms, seliotypes are far more complex and spiritually bound. Each Volamin individual possesses exactly **sixteen seliotypes**, each composed of four sub-units called [[Seliquads]].

The '''Seliotype''' is a biological-metaphysical genetic structure unique to species within the [[Volamin (Genetic Architecture)]]. Comparable to DNA or chromosomes in sexually reproducing lifeforms, seliotypes are far more complex and spiritually bound. Each Volamin individual possesses exactly '''sixteen seliotypes''', each composed of four sub-units called [[Seliquads]].

Unlike Terran meiosis where chromosomes are halved, Volamin reproduction involves each parent contributing two seliquads per seliotype, resulting in a precisely interlaced genetic sequence guided by metaphysical compatibility.

Line 8:

Each seliotype contains:

* Four [[Seliquads]] (¼ fragments)

* A unique **Selinecto** – a metaphysical binding signature determining which seliquads are compatible

* A unique '''Selinecto''' – a metaphysical binding signature determining which seliquads are compatible

During reproduction:

* Each parent fragments all sixteen seliotypes into seliquads

* Two seliquads per seliotype are passed on (½ contribution per parent)

* Only seliquads with **matching selinecto signatures** can recombine

* Only seliquads with '''matching selinecto signatures''' can recombine

This system allows for precise but flexible inheritance, enabling complex traits such as:

Line 23:

Each seliquad has:

* A **dominant end** and a **recessive end**

* A '''dominant end''' and a ''recessive end''

* A **selinecto signature** that defines its compatibility

* A '''selinecto signature''' that defines its compatibility

Trait emergence (e.g. eye color, muscle structure, horn growth) depends on:

Line 32:

Species of the Volamin lineage maintain not only **biological continuity** but often **spiritual harmonics** through seliotype inheritance, influencing behavior, emotion, and even ancestral memory in rare cases.

== Volamin Hybridization ==

Volamin species can produce viable hybrids—but only under strict biological and ancestral conditions.

=== Lineage Constraint ===

Hybridization is possible **only** among members of **non-pure bloodlines**. These are individuals whose ancestry already contains **mixed seliotypes**, allowing their [[Seliquads]] to bind across compatible species via shared or resonant [[Selinecto]] signatures.

* Pureblooded Volamin**—those whose full sixteen seliotypes originate from a single lineage—cannot interbreed with other species. Their seliquads will **fail to bind** to incompatible selinectos, often resulting in reproductive failure or sterile offspring.

== ~~Volamin Hybridization~~ ==

=== Quartered Lineage Examples ===

Viable hybrid expressions include:

~~Because of seliotype compatibility, many Volamin-descended species can interbreed in **quarter-based hybrids**, including:~~

* ½ [[Modern Valorèin]], ½ [[High Valorèin]] — sometimes called "Old Valorèin"

* ½ [[Modern Valorèin]], ½ [[High Valorèin]] ("Old Valorèin")

* ¼ [[Kwin'harin]], ¼ [[Modern Valorèin]], ½ [[High Valorèin]]

* ¾ [[Têran]], ¼ [[High Valorèin]] (rare but ~~viable)~~

* ¾ [[Têran]], ¼ [[High Valorèin]] — rare, but stable

* Whole-blood individuals with rare seliquad deviations

~~Unlike Mendelian hybridization~~, ~~these patterns do not always follow dominant/recessive dichotomies—spiritual harmonization~~ and ~~selinecto patterns shape final outcomes~~.

These combinations permit complex inheritance patterns, such as layered traits, emergent memories, and intricate physical expressions.
