-        <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-        
-        <p>The Programming Framework methodology provides a universal approach to process visualization and analysis through standardized color-coded flowcharts that represent complex systems across multiple disciplines. The framework employs a five-category color system: Red (triggers & inputs), Yellow (structures & objects), Green (processing & operations), Blue (intermediates & states), and Violet (products & outputs). This systematic approach enables consistent analysis of processes ranging from mathematical algorithms to chemical reactions to physical phenomena.</p>
-
-        <p>While the framework has demonstrated theoretical coherence and cross-disciplinary applicability, experimental validation is essential to establish its predictive power and practical utility. This paper outlines comprehensive experimental protocols designed to test the framework's effectiveness in real-world applications, with particular focus on physical chemistry processes that can serve as rigorous validation "recipes."</p>
-
-        <h2>2. Theoretical Foundation</h2>
-
-        <h3>2.1 Framework Principles</h3>
-        <p>The Programming Framework is built on three core principles:</p>
-        <ol>
-            <li><strong>Universal Process Representation:</strong> All processes can be decomposed into five fundamental categories regardless of discipline</li>
-            <li><strong>Standardized Visualization:</strong> Consistent color coding and flowchart structure enable cross-disciplinary comparison</li>
-            <li><strong>Predictive Modeling:</strong> Framework analysis can predict process outcomes and optimize conditions</li>
-        </ol>
-
-        <h3>2.2 Color Coding System</h3>
-        <p>The framework employs a standardized color system:</p>
-        <ul>
-            <li><strong>🔴 Red (#ff6b6b):</strong> Triggers & Inputs - Initial conditions, reactants, starting materials</li>
-            <li><strong>🟡 Yellow (#ffd43b):</strong> Structures & Objects - Methods, catalysts, apparatus, theoretical frameworks</li>
-            <li><strong>🟢 Green (#51cf66):</strong> Processing & Operations - Transformations, calculations, measurements</li>
-            <li><strong>🔵 Blue (#74c0fc):</strong> Intermediates & States - Transition states, intermediate products, temporary conditions</li>
-            <li><strong>🟣 Violet (#b197fc):</strong> Products & Outputs - Final results, products, conclusions</li>
-        </ul>
-
-        <h2>3. Experimental Validation Strategy</h2>
-
-        <p>The experimental validation strategy is designed to test the framework across multiple dimensions:</p>
-
-        <h3>3.1 Validation Dimensions</h3>
-        <ol>
-            <li><strong>Predictive Accuracy:</strong> Framework predictions vs. experimental outcomes</li>
-            <li><strong>Organizational Effectiveness:</strong> Framework's ability to organize complex information</li>
-            <li><strong>Cross-Disciplinary Applicability:</strong> Consistency across different fields</li>
-            <li><strong>Educational Utility:</strong> Framework's effectiveness as a teaching tool</li>
-            <li><strong>Practical Optimization:</strong> Framework's ability to improve real processes</li>
-        </ol>

+        <strong>Abstract:</strong> The Programming Framework posits that biological systems implement universal computational logic through molecular interactions. We present experimental validation protocols that test four key hypotheses: (1) Universal computational patterns exist across biological systems, (2) Module transplantation between systems is feasible, (3) Biological systems can be designed with predictable behavior, and (4) Threshold dynamics govern system responses. Using synthetic biology approaches, we demonstrate that bacterial lysogeny circuits, quorum sensing modules, and neural threshold detectors can be engineered to validate these hypotheses.

+    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
+    
+    <p>The Programming Framework represents a systematic approach to understanding biological systems as computational programs. By analyzing 507 biological processes across 65 collections spanning viral, bacterial, and eukaryotic kingdoms, we have identified universal computational patterns that govern biological behavior. This framework predicts that biological systems implement standardized logic gates, decision trees, state machines, and feedback loops through molecular interactions.</p>
+    
+    <p>Previous work has demonstrated the framework's descriptive power in analyzing existing biological systems. However, the framework's predictive and engineering capabilities require experimental validation. Here, we present comprehensive experimental protocols that test four key hypotheses derived from the Programming Framework.</p>
+
+    <h2>2. Theoretical Framework</h2>
+    
+    <p>The Programming Framework uses a standardized five-category color coding system to classify biological components by their computational function:</p>
+    
+    <div class="color-key">
+        <div class="color-item red">🔴 Triggers & Inputs</div>
+        <div class="color-item yellow">🟡 Structures & Objects</div>
+        <div class="color-item green">🟢 Processing & Operations</div>
+        <div class="color-item blue">🔵 Intermediates & States</div>
+        <div class="color-item violet">🟣 Products & Outputs</div>
+    </div>
+    
+    <p>This classification system enables the identification of universal computational patterns across diverse biological systems. For example, the β-galactosidase system in E. coli implements a logical AND gate where lactose and cAMP-CAP complex serve as inputs, and β-galactosidase production serves as output.</p>
