DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
A holobiont is a host together with associated organisms. GenOS uses the term for a host coordinating specialist services; software workers are not symbionts in the biological sense.
A holobiont combines a host and associated organisms. GenOS models a host composed with specialist services under explicit contracts.
A host composes specialist symbionts under capability, resource, lifecycle, and execution contracts.
A host H composes services S_i only when capability and resource contracts hold: required(H)⊆provided(S) and Σ cost(S_i)≤budget(H).

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Identify host needs
A host composes specialist symbionts under capability, resource, lifecycle, and execution contracts.
Admit bounded symbionts
A host H composes services S_i only when capability and resource contracts hold: required(H)⊆provided(S) and Σ cost(S_i)≤budget(H).
Review collective outcome
Review collective outcome. A holobiont is a host together with associated organisms. GenOS uses the term for a host coordinating specialist services; software workers are not symbionts in the biological sense.
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.
Contractual missions connect admission, bounded execution, independent verification, host decisions and atomic contribution/memory writes. Published contract tests and an arithmetic example cover this path; host-supplied isolation and real-world comparative gains remain unqualified.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

The wisdom of the body
Walter B. Cannon · Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner (London edition)
Original synthesis of homeostatic regulation; software feedback guards are an analogy, not physiology.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
