Biological Function Mapping

Map technical functions to biological systems via biologize→discover→model pipeline.

Stages

Stage 1: Problem Biologization

Translate the technical problem into a biological function need statement using problem-biologization SOP. Frame in terms of what function nature must achieve, not how.

Stage 2: Organism Discovery

Search for organisms that solve the biologized problem using organism-discovery SOP. Identify champion organisms across multiple phyla/kingdoms for diversity.

Stage 3: Functional Modeling

For each promising organism, build a functional model (energy/matter/information flows) using functional-model-biology SOP. Identify the mechanism that achieves the target function.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
functional-model-biology	Build biological system functional model. Map energy, matter, and information flows.
organism-discovery	Find organisms solving similar problems. Search across kingdoms for biological champions.
problem-biologization	Restate technical problem as biological question. Translate engineering challenges into nature's language.
