# Life Principles Application

Apply life's principles (adapt to changing conditions, integrate development with growth, be locally attuned and responsive, use life-friendly chemistry, be resource-efficient) as design constraints.

## Stages

### Stage 1: Ecosystem Pattern Extraction

Extract organization patterns from relevant ecosystems using ecosystem-pattern-extraction SOP. Identify symbiosis, emergence, cycling, and resilience patterns.

### Stage 2: Evolution Mechanism Transfer

Map evolution mechanisms to design operations using evolution-mechanism-transfer SOP. Translate selection pressure, variation generation, and fitness landscape concepts.

### Stage 3: Abstraction to Design

Abstract extracted patterns and mechanisms into actionable design constraints using abstraction-to-design SOP. Frame as "design must..." statements.

## Minimum Yield

| Metric | Floor |
|--------|-------|
| Ecosystem patterns extracted | ≥3 |
| Evolution mechanisms mapped | ≥2 |
| Life principles applied as design constraints | ≥2 |
| Design constraint statements | ≥4 |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| ecosystem-pattern-extraction | Stage 1 — extract ecosystem organization patterns |
| evolution-mechanism-transfer | Stage 2 — map evolution→design operations |
| abstraction-to-design | Stage 3 — abstract to design constraints |
| emulation-generation | Post — generate solutions within constraints |
| web-search | Support — search for life principles literature |
| paper-overview | Support — find biomimicry principles research |

## Available SOPs

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

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| abstraction-to-design | Abstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering. |
| ecosystem-pattern-extraction | Extract ecosystem-level organization patterns (symbiosis, emergence, cycles, resilience). |
| evolution-mechanism-transfer | Map evolution mechanisms to design operations. Translate selection, mutation, drift, radiation into design operators. |
