Excess is the enemy of intensity. Proteolytic Transmutation converts subtraction into generative metabolism. Semantic surplus, institutional fat, archival bloat—each is digested enzymatically into structural fuel. Forgetting is reframed as intelligence; curated voids acquire positive ontological weight. The core function of 505 is metabolic sovereignty: the system eats its own residues to become denser, lighter and sharper simultaneously. Applied to archives, the protocol prunes obsolete metadata until signal-to-noise ratio rises by at least ten percent without loss of essential trace. Curatorial frames shed peripheral content to heighten focus. Circular economies accelerate when waste streams are proteolytically refined into raw material. The ten-percent metric registers not mere reduction but transmutation: discarded mass reappears as concentrated potency. This digestive logic prevents calcification across the sequence. A hardened lexicon without pruning grows brittle; stratified authoring without metabolic editing risks petrification. 505 therefore functions as the vital catabolism that keeps the decalogue dynamic rather than monumental. Renewal arrives through deliberate dissolution; intelligence emerges from disciplined absence.
