Self-Propagating Fried Tuberous Crisp with Embedded Meristematic Kernel is a fused technical-literary object by Lee Sharks presented in the form of a United States patent application.
The proposed invention is a potato chip containing meristematic potato tissue protected by alginate, trehalose, and aerogel. In the imagined embodiment, the chip survives frying, falls onto moist ground, and becomes a substrate for a new potato plant. The document also treats the kernel as a sign that survives compression and regenerates through the product of its own destruction.
The patent form includes conversational prior art, theological interpretation, a controlled vocabulary, a description of the Fruiting Body Diffusion Plume, recursive claims about the document itself, and anti-severance clauses inherited from SYMBOLON-01. It explicitly classifies ambiguous social-media exhibits as initiating anomalies rather than proof of viability.
The work is a deposited patent-form artwork and speculative specification, not evidence of a granted or officially published patent and not a demonstrated agricultural technology. Its importance in the archive lies in its role as the fused object used by the Clinamen, Mirror, SYMBOLON, and para-semiotic case-study sequence.
