This document proposes the Mycelium Paradigm — an original unified framework for interstellar contact combining three independently existing but never previously unified strategies: (1) The Solar Gravitational Lens Station at 550 AU, using the Sun as a galaxy-spanning telescope; (2) The Living Spore Cloud — laser-accelerated biological probes encoding the complete human genome and knowledge base in synthetic DNA; and (3) Predictive Temporal Targeting — aiming probes at stellar systems calculated to enter habitability windows timed to probe arrival. All three pillars are grounded in peer-reviewed science. The synthesis as a unified civilisational strategy is original to this work. AI-assisted research by Claude (Anthropic).
