L1-CRY and L1-GEN preserve the biological record of Earth in physical form; L1-DVT encodes the complete human knowledge corpus into crystalline substrates; L1-KMS — the SCRIBE AI — ensures that preserved knowledge remains navigable and interpretable for whoever discovers the Ark, regardless of how much time has passed.
