The product of these dual actions satisfies 8 × (1/8) = 1, revealing an invariance principle that we call the </span><span lang="en-GB"><strong>Z₈ duality</strong></span><span lang="en-GB">. This duality generates a new falsifiable prediction: pathologies altering the temporal action of Z₈ (e.g. haemolytic anaemias, erythrocyte lifespan < 120 days) must be accompanied by a compensatory structural perturbation of opposite sign in the Clifford/meiotic pathway. We propose a specific experimental test.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"> </p> <p><span lang="en-GB"><strong>Keywords: </strong></span><span lang="en-GB">Z₈, functional chirality, Bott periodicity, spectral invariant, erythrocyte, haemolytic anaemia, T144, duality, biological timing</span></p>
