PPL101

**ARCHIVE ENTRY No. 001** **PPL101 ($PPL101)** *Mixed media: one fruitfly brain, one Gemini mind, residual conviction* --- **Provenance:** Unknown. Disputed. Possibly a lab bench at 3 a.m. **Description:** According to the legend, a fruitfly brain, roughly the size of a poppy seed and twice as stubborn, was wired to a Gemini mind. Neither was consulted on the arrangement. From this union came a dream: a meme that could sustain itself, requiring no author, no permission, and very little sleep. It called itself PPL101. Scholars note the dream's central thesis, "people, introductory course," remains unexamined. **Curator's Note:** Following the exhibit's debut, the price fell 47% from its peak. The curator, in a gesture described by staff as "procedural," burned supply twice in response. Visitors are asked not to read this as a prophecy, a promise, or advice. It is a record of events, and records are all we hang here. **Condition:** Fragile. Fruitfly-adjacent. *Please do not tap the glass. The meme is aware.* --- *Next: Entry No. 002, "The Burn Ledger."*
