Lycian specification
- Taxon
- Homo sapiens lycanus — Project LCAN
- Substrate
- Human. The wolf does not appear. The man does not disappear.
- Trigger
- LR-1 temporal integrator. Opposition-surge 415 nm + melatonin gate. 90–120 min dark-adapted ramp.
- Ignition
- Adrenal Bypass, 60–90 s. Norepinephrine-dominant. Full phenotype 10–20 min. Duration 4–6 h.
- Form
- Crouched biped. Human skull. Hydraulic snarl. Pseudo-coat of erect hair + sebum. Hands stay hands.
- Skeleton
- Unchanged Homo sapiens. 206 bones. Plantigrade. No tail, no rostrum, no carnassials.
- Engine
- Muscle Pump +20–30% volume. 90–95% of cardiac output to muscle. Strength 3–5× by uncapped recruitment.
- Heat
- 2,000–2,800 W. Pulsed Interval ~4 s. Core 38.5–40 °C.
- Senses
- OR repertoire ~580–640. Detection 15–20×. VNO born-only. Pupils 8–9 mm. No tapetum.
- Mind
- PFC down. Amygdala at ceiling. Language off. Procedural memory on. Encoding 40–60%.
- Genome
- LERV ~800 kya, H. heidelbergensis. Chr 6 / 11 / 17 / 5. gag-pol-env intact.
- Inheritance
- Polygenic threshold. Born = germline. Bitten = 3–8% somatic. Europe ~1 in 600–900 full-shift.
- Metal
- Ag⁺ at Complex IV copper centres. Cascade Propagation. Trace diet is safe; wound salts are not.
- Co-factor
- LERV-CF hexapeptides — unique to human tissue. The hunger is specified.
- Repair
- Two-week wound → 4–5 days (born). TERT 3–4×. NAMPT. Monthly senolytic hormesis.
