A versioned software model of inherited traits and constraints; it is not biological DNA and does not by itself instantiate a running agent.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
A biological genome is an organism's DNA sequence; the GenOS genome is a versioned software specification. The shared term signals inheritance and constraints, not molecular encoding or biological equivalence. Rust operations transform genome data models; such a transformation does not by itself start an agent process.
DNA carries inherited biological information. GenOS borrows inheritance and variation vocabulary for versioned configuration, not molecular encoding.
A versioned software model of inherited traits and constraints; it is not biological DNA and does not by itself instantiate a running agent.
A software genome is a typed configuration G=(traits, constraints, version, provenance). Phenotype generation is an implementation mapping P=f(G, context), whose determinism and allowed overrides should be documented.

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Read inherited configuration
A versioned software model of inherited traits and constraints; it is not biological DNA and does not by itself instantiate a running agent.
Apply permitted transformation
A software genome is a typed configuration G=(traits, constraints, version, provenance). Phenotype generation is an implementation mapping P=f(G, context), whose determinism and allowed overrides should be documented.
Validate derived profile
Validate derived profile. A biological genome is an organism's DNA sequence; the GenOS genome is a versioned software specification. The shared term signals inheritance and constraints, not molecular encoding or biological equivalence. Rust operations transform genome data models; such a transformation does not by itself start an agent process.
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.
Rust genome types, operations and tests exist, with selected CLI/backend paths. This software genome is not biological DNA.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.
