Execution Guidance
- Functionalize: Decompose technical system into functions (energy/matter/information flows)
- Biologize: Use problem-biologization to find biological equivalents
- Discover: Use organism-discovery to find champion organisms
- Model: Use functional-model-biology to understand biological mechanisms
- Extract: Use biological-strategy-extraction for transferable strategies
- Abstract: Use abstraction-to-design for design principles
- Emulate: Use emulation-generation for technical solutions
