Novus Horner — Reading from Either End

The coefficients are identical. Only direction changes.

UV→IR — the physics reading

Begin at the Preamble (outermost coefficient, UV). Apply α at each step. Pass the Crossing, walk the Physics Arc (§1–§5), return to the Crossing (orientation inverts), walk the Consciousness Arc (§6–§10), arrive at the Twist, end at the Coda (IR). Increasing specificity: infinite-resolution manifold to the discrete moment of experience.

IR→UV — the manifestation reading

Begin at the Coda (IR). Apply α⁻¹. Walk the Twist backward, up the Consciousness Arc (§10 to §6), through the Crossing, into the Physics Arc (§5 to §1), out through the Preamble (UV). Increasing generality: a specific intended C-state traced back toward the M-source from which it projects.

No preferred starting point

This is what it means to be a lemniscate thesis. You can begin at abstract physics and arrive at phenomenology. You can begin at intending an outcome and arrive at M. You can begin at α and traverse both loops at once in opposite directions. In every case the law is the same, and you return to where you began.

UV→IR: p(α) = ((a_N · α + a_{N−1}) · α + …) · α + a₀ = M → α → C

IR→UV: p(α⁻¹) = ((a₀ · α⁻¹ + a₁) · α⁻¹ + …) · α⁻¹ + a_N = C → α⁻¹ → M
