FGF → MAPK/ERK activation

two FGFR molecules pair up

FGFR Autophosphorylation

The FGFR receptors phosphorylate each other

Adapter Protein Grb2 Binds

Grb2 recruits SOS, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF).

Ras Becomes Active

SOS activates Ras by helping it exchange GDP for GTP.

Ras-GDP (inactive) → Ras-GTP (active)

Ras Activates Raf

Activated Ras binds and activates Raf

Raf Activates MEK

Raf phosphorylates and activates MEK.

MEK Activates ERK

MEK phosphorylates and activates ERK (MAPK)

ERK Enters the Nucleus

Activated ERK moves into the nucleus and activates transcription factors.

A Pit Of Seeds

Leaving the old universe behind, the path will be extreme as the new universe is built from the ground.

Six types of seeds exist as the people willingly “fall” in order to plant them

Two seeds were given names:

Nuclumito - Seed of mitochondria

Nucloendo - Seed of nucleolus

The Progenitor Pool

A population of neural progenitor cells

Neuroepithelial Cells

Radial Glial Cells

Intermediate Progenitor Cells

Basal Progenitor Cells

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells

Astrocyte Progenitor Cells

The Record

A sharpened stone (neurite) to record the words

Matrix Mechanism

In the early days of Lamina a matrix was created. To serve as a universal guide on how to navigate this new universe.

The two rings exist mtDNA and tRNA

The top ring made of 11 mtDNA’s and the bottom ring made of 22 tRNA’s

In between these rings there is a multidimensional rainbow space called Ixchel that serves as the environment.

Along with it is the migrating seed called Nuclumito. Appearing as a black sphere it absorbs the information from the two rings and reads the sequence.

Once the sequence has been read the information, it is then compressed. Going from being a chunk of information into a short as possible piece of imagery.

Now it’s time to create stars (tightly compressed information) and threads (synapses)

Creating a constellation of an animal unique to Lamina

In both the matrix and the rest of Lamina it is always 11 Stars this doesn’t change

What does change is the number of threads to only allow tRNA’s that lead to neurotransmitters to continue to exist

Opsin Portal

The portal, when activated will pull the genetic information, turned imagery, in a linear sequence. 

Traveling through the Lamina Pathway (neural tube) it works like a gradient, the closer you are to the two ends of the portal the more compressed the information becomes. 

In the middle there’s a more relaxed state as the inside of the Lamina pathway adds to the sequence. 

The destination is a place called the Opsin Body. The spark, resembling the nucleus as it does its work, it designs ideas for new creatures and sends the information back into the matrix in the form of a star, a luminous sphere called Nucloendo

Lamina Pathway

The Lamina Pathway is a tube lined with cells. As information passes through it becomes influenced by these cells.

The creativity pool exists at the bottom. It serves as reserve to gather pieces of information turn it into an environment of two polar opposite realities. 

The information is held together with a scaffold of communications between synapses.

Leaving The Matrix

A Lumine and a Laminae are free to leave the matrix but, first they need to break uniformity. Meaning they need to absorb the features of the animal they feel a deep connection with.

They enter the realms:

Alpha, Beta and Delta

These are the three anchors that make the difference between creativity and chaos
