01 · fold-into-being — a linear mRNA strand at the crown folds (alpha coil, beta sheet, turn) and curls into a wet Wib&Wob symbiont; the gene threads down through the body and trails into a gap the second reader closes.

figure = mRNA. every A C G U on the fold is a base. prose + whitespace stripped,
read 5'->3' in raster order, the fold is one open reading frame:
