Rust operations change genome data models; MCP biomimicry mutation handlers update scenario registries and do not change an active agent’s AgentDNA.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Biological mutation changes heritable sequence through physical processes. GenOS uses the word both for operations on genome data models and for MCP biomimicry handlers. Those handlers update simulation registries; they do not alter active AgentDNA or runtime behavior. Validation and lineage rules are software controls, not biological mutation mechanisms.
Biological mutation creates heritable variation. GenOS models candidate changes to versioned traits, subject to software validation and authorization.
Rust operations change genome data models; MCP biomimicry mutation handlers update scenario registries and do not change an active agent’s AgentDNA.
A candidate variation can be represented as θ′=θ+ε followed by schema validation and an acceptance predicate. Distribution ε and admissibility rules are implementation choices.

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.
Bounded mutation operations exist in the genome crate; mutation does not imply useful or safe evolutionary change.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.
