A persisted capability graph with callable bounded multi-hop routing, local traces, and evidence-gated growth services.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Rhizome is a philosophical and botanical metaphor for non-hierarchical connections. A runtime graph still has explicit nodes, edges, permissions, and routing constraints.
Plant rhizomes spread through connected underground stems. The software analogy motivates a distributed capability graph, not botanical growth.
A persisted capability graph with callable bounded multi-hop routing, local traces, and evidence-gated growth services.
Given a revisioned graph G=(V,E), the callable topology-session route operation plans eligible multi-hop paths under configured hop, cost, and trust limits; deterministic scoring ranks candidates. Reachability does not itself prove provider startup or mission success.

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Map capability graph
A persisted capability graph with callable bounded multi-hop routing, local traces, and evidence-gated growth services.
Route through eligible edges
Given a revisioned graph G=(V,E), the callable topology-session route operation plans eligible multi-hop paths under configured hop, cost, and trust limits; deterministic scoring ranks candidates. Reachability does not itself prove provider startup or mission success.
Verify local trace
Verify local trace. Rhizome is a philosophical and botanical metaphor for non-hierarchical connections. A runtime graph still has explicit nodes, edges, permissions, and routing constraints.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
The provider-backed path resolves, executes, independently verifies and admits a capability before adding it to persisted routing. The 36-suite Rhizome profile includes an SQLite growth-and-routing end-to-end test. Hosts must still register real providers and verifiers; this does not establish general mission quality.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

Pierre-Paul Grassé · Insectes Sociaux 6, 41–80
Introduces stigmergy in the study of termite nest reconstruction; shared software traces are a design analogy, not evidence of biological equivalence.
