We present a harmonic framework for the anatomy and lifecycle of black holes, weaving conventional astrophysics with our pre-existing works on the PETAL-native architecture of primes, residuals, and White Space. Black holes, in this view, are not dead ends but recursive return pathways: spiral collapse vectors that retrace the same prime-sequence scaffold which first carried the universe outward from the primordial asymmetry. The anatomy of the black hole horizon, singularity, accretion disk, curvature tension, and Hawking whispers can be written both as equations and as harmonic organs, each with falsifiable predictions. Ringdown data already hints at prime-aligned combs, while Hawking radiation emerges as the irreducible residual squeezed from collapse. We outline a full harmonic lifecycle: birth in accretion, spiral descent along the prime ladder, residual exhalation, evaporation, and reconciliation into White Space, leaving fossil fireballs inscribed as voids and background scars. Each stage carries testable signatures. To study black holes, we argue, is to study the recursive structure of being itself, expansion and collapse, noise and silence, form and signal, each reconciled in the return to origin.
