16. The Panchatantra (India)

As in Kalila wa Dimna, the Panchatantra’s animal fables are pedagogical operators used to test governance and prudence. across many parameter spaces. Each tale is a controlled interaction that demonstrates consequences of certain couplings—greed, cunning, laziness—allowing listeners to update their behavioral priors experimentally. Its high transferability across cultures indicates robust eigenvalues in the cultural mixing matrix: its lessons survive translation because they address universal interaction dynamics between agents.
The Panchatantra is a Fictionon (N + Mγ) enriched by the nested-structure dynamics of Mythoplasma. Animal fables use Metaphoron (Mγ) as their fundamental boson: animals embody kings, ministers, and human traits, transporting political and ethical lessons. Narraton organizes the frame story of a tutor teaching princes, within which countless embedded tales create a fractal narrative field. Polyphonon (P³) operates through multiple speakers—animals, narrators, inner narrators—creating layered voices. Temporalon (T) manipulates narrative levels, moving freely between the frame and inset stories, generating recursive moral knowledge. The result is a didactic narrative engine in which wisdom spreads through playful transformations.

Fundamental Particles

Particle	Symbol	Function
Narraton	N	The basic storytelling particle.
Metaphoron	Mγ	The carrier of imagery; analogous to a photon.
Dissonaton	D±	Conflict, rupture, contradiction.
Silention	S⁰	The unsaid, the erased. Appears only via absence.
Polyphonon	P³	Multi-voiced narration; binds communities.
Temporalon	T	Manipulates chronology.

Composite Particles

(Produced when fundamental particles bind.)

Composite	Composition	Literary Equivalent
Mythoplasma	N + Mγ + T	Myth, epic cycles, cosmologies.
Realiton	N + D±	Realist narrative, social conflict.
Memoirion	N + S⁰ + T	Memory narrative, trauma narrative.
Fictionon	N + Mγ	The creative continuum.
Critical Gluon	P³ + D±	The force binding literary traditions.
