Define the identity inside the finite population boundary.
uint32 / 1—10⁹One number. One reproducible life. Every life begins with a numerical identity. Enter 1–1,000,000,000 to reconstruct its assigned form. Nothing is selected from a collection or rolled again. Same ID → same base life.
A SEVRA life begins as a numerical condition, not a stored image. The engine resolves stable traits and reconstructs the same base form whenever that identity is observed. Identity is computed. History is accumulated.
Define the identity inside the finite population boundary.
uint32 / 1—10⁹Transform the numerical identity into a stable deterministic sequence.
seedFor(id)Resolve body structure, palette, eyes, pattern and behavioral traits.
generate(id)Reconstruct the resulting phenotype on the existing eighteen-cell field.
pixels(id)The same number returns the same base life. Temporal state is a separate model.
identity = f(ID)Identity answers what a SEVRA life is. Time answers what it becomes. Continuity can give an observed life development and history. Identity can persist indefinitely; an observed life does not have to. The sequence below is a model.
Identity becomes visible. A number resolves for the first time and its form enters observation. NUMBER → LIFE.
Continuity begins. An observed identity remains present long enough for history to form. PRESENCE → CONTINUITY.
Time becomes visible. Development changes state without rewriting the identity beneath it. CONTINUITY → DEVELOPMENT.
Continuity is interrupted. Custody or observation may end; the base form stays reproducible. INTERRUPTION → DORMANCY.
The lifecycle ends. The identity remains. A terminal state closes the history; the archive preserves it. MORTALITY → MEMORY.
An ending does not require erasure. The form can be reconstructed; its history cannot. Observation, continuity, development and terminal states belong to time. The Archive models that temporal memory. A life may stop changing; its record need not disappear. Entries below are simulated; the current row is local.

SEVRA separates identity, state and economy. Identity defines what a life is. Temporal state describes what can happen around it. The economic layer supplies a finite external boundary. These layers need not become the same thing. The life engine operates independently of network state.
