Selinecto
The Selinecto is a metaphysical binding signature embedded within every Seliquad, forming the foundation of trait compatibility within the Volamin (Genetic Architecture). Acting as both an identifier and a regulator, the selinecto determines which seliquads can bind together during reproduction and how traits are expressed in the resulting offspring.
Unlike chemical codons in Terran DNA, selinectos are **energetic harmonics**, often described in spiritual or computational terms—resonant frequencies, divine keys, or soul codes.
Function and Role[edit | edit source]
Every Seliquad possesses one and only one selinecto. This selinecto:
- Functions as a **binding key**—only seliquads with matching selinectos may fuse
- Defines **trait loci compatibility**—ensures only proper structural matches occur
- Is inherited but can **mutate or drift** over generations, enabling or disabling hybridization
Binding rules:
- **Match required**: seliquads with different selinectos cannot bind and are discarded during recombination
- **Hierarchy-neutral**: selinectos do not determine dominance—only compatibility
- **Lineage-locked**: pureblood species often share selinectos only within their own kind
Classifications of Selinectos[edit | edit source]
Selinectos are often categorized by ancestral line or function:
- Root Selinectos: original keys defined by the **Primordial Volamin species**
- Lineage Selinectos: evolved or stabilized variants specific to subgroups (e.g., High Valorîin)
- Bridge Selinectos: rare harmonics that occur only in **line-blended hybrids**, allowing unexpected compatibility
Cultural and Scientific Significance[edit | edit source]
Volamin scholars and spirit-seers often classify selinectos by pattern, tone, or symbolic glyphs. In some cultures, selinectos are:
- **Mapped like constellations**, using harmonic charts
- **Invoked during conception rituals** to encourage compatible binding
- **Tested during political marriages** to ensure lineage viability
Among noble houses, **controlling selinecto purity** is a sacred duty—failed matches or unwanted bridge-hybrids are often disinherited or ritually exiled.
