In Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency, myopathic (CPT2, OMIM 255110), the master switch sits on the ↓ DOWN branch ([F] forced below); the healthy state is the ON well. The forced corrective direction is to raise s toward ON branch (polarity: supply). Classification: ✓ Recovers an existing standard. Direction only — no dose, no efficacy magnitude.
The disease maps to an R19 double-well whose corrective lever is read straight off the cusp (barrier 0.4996, γ 1.4136, spinodal 0.6469). The corrective direction is forced [F]; the agent names below are direction-concordant labels at grade [O] (no dose, no efficacy or safety magnitude). This is a research hypothesis offered to experts, not medical advice.
The emergence switch
The switch for Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency, myopathic is an R19 double-well emerged from the real proximal-promoter DNA of CPT2. Its geometry is fixed by measured stiffness γ (never fitted); the numbers below are read directly off that cusp.

Chemistry feasibility (DIRECTION only [O]). small-molecule recrossing of the fold is geometrically plausible (barrier 0.4996 at neutral drive; lower barrier = smaller drive to supply). [O] -- no affinity/potency/dose/efficacy asserted.
The derived corrective lever
The cusp forces a corrective direction: raise s toward ON branch. This is the load-bearing output of the framework — it is [F] forced, and it is falsifiable. 2 lever families are derived; the lead is h-restore (drive modulator).
Mechanism. supply / restore the positive drive (replace-or-agonise the missing competence)
Applies to. allele-agnostic (downstream/environmental tilt)
favoured when the switch is fragile -- a small drive shift recrosses the fold
Falsifier. If supplying/agonising fasting and exertional myocellular ATP-fuel competence lost to the CPT2 long-chain fatty-acid oxidation defect (raising the switch drive) does NOT move the DOWN [F] switch toward the healthy branch in a CPT2-deficient model, the h-restore(supply) lever is refuted for this axis.
Falsifier. If a folding-stabiliser/chaperone does NOT re-deepen the healthy well for a residual CPT2 allele (no rescue that a null allele lacks), the gamma-restore lever is refuted; null alleles are excluded by construction.
Agents mapped onto the lever
✓ Agreement with established practice. The corrective direction derived here (raise s toward ON branch) independently matches an agent already in clinical use for this disease: high-carbohydrate low-long-chain-fat diet with medium-chain-triglyceride fuel and avoidance of prolonged fasting, supplying the alternative myocellular fuel downstream of the CPT2 long-chain oxidation defect. The geometry recovered known medicine — this is a validation signal for the logic, not a new treatment claim by this kit.

Direction-only candidate leads (corpus join)
Each lead is surfaced only because its known mechanism points the same way as the derived lever, and each comes with a source and a falsifier. None is a treatment.
high-carbohydrate / MCT fuel with fasting avoidance [CPT2 myopathic deficiency]✓ recovered standarddir: increase · established standard of care
Class. alternative myocellular-fuel supply (carbohydrate + medium-chain triglyceride)
Mechanism. Supplies medium-chain triglyceride and carbohydrate as the alternative myocellular fuel downstream of the CPT2 long-chain oxidation defect, with fasting avoidance. Direction: increase the deficient fuel supply. Scope: agnostic.
✓ This is a rediscovery. High-carbohydrate / medium-chain-triglyceride fuelling with fasting avoidance is the established dietary management of myopathic CPT II deficiency; established treatment recovered.
Safety (qualitative; no magnitude). established-use safety profile on record (qualitative; no magnitude)
Falsifier. If high-carbohydrate / MCT fuel with fasting avoidance [CPT2 myopathic deficiency] (a gene-specific supply/increase agent) does NOT move the DOWN [F] switch toward the healthy branch in a CPT2-deficient model, the h-restore(supply) direction is refuted for high-carbohydrate / MCT fuel with fasting avoidance [CPT2 myopathic deficiency] here.

Reading the agent column. VALIDATION SIGNAL -- the agent is already approved / established standard for this disease, so the direction logic recovered known clinical practice. Not a new claim by this kit. GENUINE HYPOTHESIS -- no approved indication for this disease; the direction match is a direction-only, untested [O] lead. Basis field grades the evidence (investigational here / in a related condition / off-label / speculative).
