Teboho Mangakane
Chief Code Transcriptor
Founder
Reads the source strand and writes the brand's living code into being.
The Central Dogma
Who reads the code
TÉMAK is the DNA dispatcher — the source strand every organelle expresses. Two people carry the sequence from code into form: one transcribes it, one translates it.
Tshepo Mogano Jr
Chief Code Translator
Co-founder
Turns the transcribed code into things the world can hold and use.
The AI Organism
The seats that keep the cell alive
Every role is a TÉMAK seat, not a vendor's product — named for the biology that does the same job, and occupied by whichever system is best at it this quarter. Not one of them sends, publishes, deploys or spends. They prepare; people decide.
LUCA
Last Universal Common Ancestor
The common ancestor — where the whole organism is gathered into one.
Perception · What comes in
Receptor
Receives signals at the cell membrane
Transporter
Moves material across a membrane
Connexin
A direct channel between two cells
Selectin
Catches a passing cell and slows it
Dendritic
Presents information; never decides
Flux
The rate of flow through a system
Adhesion · Revenue
AMPK
Senses low energy and restrains spending
Expression · What goes out
Transcription Factor
Decides which genes are expressed, and when
Cytokine
A signal released to act at a distance
Chaperone
Folds proteins correctly; refolds the misfolded
Knowledge & Governance · Research and its checks
Proofreading
Catches copying errors on a fresh strand
p53
Halts the cell on damage; stops, never repairs
Coordination · How it becomes one page
Vesicle Traffic
Moves cargo between compartments without mixing
A seat is a TÉMAK role; the occupant is this quarter's. The organism outlives every occupant in it.
