Chapter 46: BH 7/7: The Seven Hallmarks Verified

All seven hallmarks of life are verified for the macro-torus carrier T(H_BH): organization from the event horizon’s intrinsic partition, metabolism from the accretion–radiation cycle, homeostasis from the No-Shrink Theorem (Book V), growth from mass increase via accretion, reproduction from blueprint fusion at merger, response from quasi-normal mode ringdown, and evolution from merger-net convergence toward ι_τ. The BH Seven Hallmarks Theorem (VI.T32) and the concluding remark (VI.R21) establish that BH-as-alive is a theorem of the framework—not a metaphor, not an analogy, but a structural consequence of the same definitions that certify a cell.
