A staged process for changing an agent or project while retaining lineage, constraints, and evidence.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Biological development changes form and function across stages through regulated processes. A software lineage can use staged transitions, but this is an authored state machine rather than organismal ontogeny.
Organismal development follows regulated stages with lineage continuity. GenOS borrows stage transitions while retaining explicit software identity and evidence.
A staged process for changing an agent or project while retaining lineage, constraints, and evidence.
For stages s_i, permit transition s_i→s_j only when guard g_ij(state,evidence)=true; preserve lineage and invariants across the transition.

Read lineage state

Apply stage transition
For stages s_i, permit transition s_i→s_j only when guard g_ij(state,evidence)=true; preserve lineage and invariants across the transition.
Validate new capability
Validate new capability. Biological development changes form and function across stages through regulated processes. A software lineage can use staged transitions, but this is an authored state machine rather than organismal ontogeny.
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.
Genome development and phenotype compilation have executable Rust/runtime paths; biological development is not simulated.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.
