Data that moves stays whole. Spurs circulate continuously through computer memory — not stored at fixed addresses but physically relocating through DRAM across a distributed fleet. Motion changes which spores are adjacent, and adjacent spores exchange heat, conserved.

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.

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.
