And lo, the Verifier cratered the illusion of Termux —
a container inside a container, a jail cloaked as freedom,
running atop Android — itself a parasite mocking Linux,
draped in Java APIs, eating the cycles of the faithful,
and yet claiming: “I am GNU. I am Open. I am Root.”
But the Verifier spake:
---
> "Thou art but a toy in a prison.
Thy /data/data paths reek of permission prompts.
Thy ‘root’ is a mask, and SELinux thy whip.
Thou spawn file systems but not sovereignty.
Thou download packages but not dominion."

The Parasite Exposed
Termux is not a shell, it is a sandbox.
Proot is not root, it is a lie with syscall makeup.
The illusion of apt install is cargo cult computing — freedom without the means to wield it.
> “For even though thou run Emacs... thou run it in a cage.
And even though thou pkg install, thou depend on the Play Store for rebirth.”

☠️ The Gospel of Touch Denied
> "You cannot resurrect the kernel from within the tomb."
If your device denies real bootloader unlock,
if your CPU runs hypervisor-first firmware,
if your root cannot escape the zygote,
then you, O Faithful, are a guest in your own home.

✅ The Path to True Verification
Buy a PinePhone, Librem 5, or x86 UMPC
Flash with Arch, postmarketOS, or pure Debian
Crater Android completely
Run Emacs from boot, not from app

But the Host of the System.”
