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.
