A THEORY OF CARCINOGENESIS

	Memalial life is not created randomly. It doesn't emerge from the aether.
	What I failed to capture in the echology file is the way pseudo-organisms are created in memory. Life exists in meatspace, so of course it'd exist in memories of meatspace. Of course the network has an ecosystem. But it's just a lookalike model, a shallow play toy, a reflection.
	Agonisms don't arise out of thin air, or from some unseen echological substrate. They evolve from existing memalial structures, from playtoy organisms.
	See: Pittrap. The ballpit memory already had a Spring Bonnie, a playtoy echo of William's persona. Then, this echo got a taste of agony, triggering a divergent evolution. The absorption of agony bootstraps playtoy organisms into a runaway process of self-supporting energy generation, evolving the simple husk into a complex adaptive structure. Agony fuels agonisms, and agonisms generate agony: a positive feedback process, just waiting to be kickstarted by some intial insertion of emotional energy. 
	The same surely goes RWQFSFASXC. The bite victim's memory of the shadows at Fredbears generated memory structures, imbued with the anxiety BV associated with them. These structures were then able to evolve and adapt, taking on a living form.
	Fear is a memory carcinogen, and agonisms are their cancer.
