01
Data that moves organizes itself. Spurs circulate continuously through computer memory — not stored at fixed addresses but physically relocating through DRAM across a distributed fleet. Related data finds each other through thermal affinity. No clustering algorithm. Physics only.
02
Heat governs findability. Human attention warms data. Warm data moves slowly — it's findable. Cold data moves fast — it's in deep archive. The thermal landscape is the index. No query planner. No B-tree. The physics builds the index.
03
Dead data wakes up. COBOL flat files. Microfiche scans. Decommissioned system exports. Archive data that no modern AI can touch. In WHORLD it's not dead — it's cold. Cold means fast. Fast means circulating. Circulating means finding relationships nobody programmed.

Thermal clustering above chance · p < 0.001 · 1,000 permutation trials · zero null hits
Data self-organizes into semantically coherent thermal bands through heat and motion alone.
No clustering algorithm present.
