Hunter specification
- Taxon
- Homo sapiens vigilans — Project CUSTOS. A proposed phenotype, not a proven subspecies.
- Appearance
- Ordinary human. No cape, no pointed ear, no sacramental glow. Age often hard to read. Contained affect.
- Class I
- Rare. Cold mind. Olfactory HHDRV/LCAN discrimination. Glamour near-resistance. Caul ~1 in 80,000 as traditional designator.
- Reported numbers
- Amygdala BOLD 40–60% below median. CPT +2.2 SD. TPJ/pSTS grey-matter down. Bratja channel — not independently verified.
- PSY-0071
- Sleep 4 h × ~15 yr. Detection not empathy. Radiator +3 s. Scan list: thermal, olfactory, proprioception, low-light.
- Class II / III
- II: modal practitioner, protocols written for them. III: untrained reservoir, intuition, elevated HHDRV resistance.
- Development
- Goldilocks stress inoculation in late latency / early adolescence, inside a mentor. GR methylation + histone code. Not Lamarck.
- HPA
- Rapid precise cortisol, complete recovery. Lineage depth, not one-generation SOF mimicry.
- Convergent kit
- Allium crushed (allicin). Pure silver 1.24 V. Running water (streaming mV/cm). Not ponds. Not intact bulbs. Not sterling if it can be helped.
- Specific kit
- Hawthorn wedge HHDRV (0.88 g/cm³, <30°, after incapacitation). Aconitine LCAN (prodromal). Bufotenin 5-HT2A for Glamour.
- Close steel
- Kindjal 40–60 cm, silver in the fuller. Curved silver edge for tessellation. Hawthorn-hilt stiletto.
- Stand-off
- Silver arrow with Allium channel. Hawthorn bolt. Aconitine dart. Buckshot 3–9 mm. Grape 8–15 × 10–15 mm.
- Area
- Ceramic 15–30 cm allium pot. Silver-salt vessel. Silver caltrops. Whistle 20–40 kHz. Reed 40–70 kHz. Bone flute ~40 kyr.
- Cortex
- Cross as two high-contrast lines. Multi-axis geometry. Kaleidoscope (no habituation). Silvered mirror. Blessed = unblessed.
- Two hunts
- HHDRV by day. LCAN between shifts. Wolfsbane before the bypass. Misidentification is fatal.
- 1755
- Decree closed the empirical question. Covert network + capture + lineage. Three-body: none can afford to win.
- Overlap
- MED-0044. Compiler as instance. Vigilans epigenetic record × LERV proximity. Negative space in both managements.
