In Tuberous-like / mTORopathy (MTOR, OMIM 607341), the master switch sits on the ↑ UP branch ([F] forced below); the healthy state is the OFF well. The forced corrective direction is to lower s toward OFF branch (polarity: clear). 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 0.5028, γ 1.4181, spinodal 0.6500). 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 Tuberous-like / mTORopathy is an R19 double-well emerged from the real proximal-promoter DNA of MTOR. 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 harder (barrier 0.5028 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: lower s toward OFF 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. remove / oppose the drive (clear the accumulating load that pins the disease branch)
Applies to. allele-agnostic (downstream/environmental tilt)
favoured when the switch is fragile -- a small drive shift recrosses the fold
Falsifier. If clearing/opposing the accumulating pathological accumulation / over-activity from the MTOR GOF lesion does NOT relieve the disease branch in a MTOR model, the h-restore(clear) lever is refuted for this axis.
EXCLUDED: gain-of-function -- the lesion is not a destabilised healthy product to stiffen; the corrective move is to clear/oppose the toxic drive (h-restore)
Falsifier. If a folding-stabiliser/chaperone does NOT re-deepen the healthy well for a residual MTOR 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 (lower s toward OFF branch) independently matches an agent already in clinical use for this disease: mTOR inhibitor (sirolimus / everolimus) suppressing the constitutive mTORC1 signalling of the MTOR gain-of-function lesion. The geometry recovered known medicine — this is a validation signal for the logic, not a new treatment claim by this kit.
Existing agents whose known action is direction-concordant with the derived lever (status as pinned in the corpus; no dose, no efficacy magnitude).

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.
Mechanism. Forms a complex with FKBP12 that inhibits mTORC1, lowering the constitutive mTOR signalling that is released when the TSC1/TSC2 (hamartin/tuberin) GTPase-activating complex is lost. Direction: decrease / oppose the pathological mTOR drive. Allele scope: agnostic -- acts on mTORC1 downstream of the TSC lesion, independent of the variant. Pathway-specific to mTOR signalling (mapped to tuberous sclerosis complex). The systemic generic is low-cost relative to everolimus, the branded mTOR inhibitor approved for several TSC manifestations.
Prior-art. mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus / everolimus) are approved for other indications (e.g. tuberous sclerosis complex) and used off-label for MTOR-mutation mTORopathies; not an approved indication for this specific disorder. Direction-only, untested as a general claim.
Safety (qualitative; no magnitude). post-marketing safety profile on record (approved mTOR inhibitor; topical sirolimus approved for TSC-associated facial angiofibroma; low-cost generic for the systemic form; qualitative; no magnitude)
Falsifier. If sirolimus (rapamycin) (a pathway decrease agent) clearing/opposing the accumulating load does NOT relieve the UP [F] disease branch in a MTOR model, the h-restore(clear) direction is refuted for sirolimus (rapamycin) 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).
