Organism map.
Software, with boundaries.
Use biological ideas as a guide to system design while keeping the software mechanism and the limit of each analogy visible.
Analogy with limits.
Biological terms help organize a software system. Every row names the software translation and one limit, so the metaphor does not read as an empirical claim.
GenOS traits are versioned software state, not biological DNA.
Expression rules do not reproduce cellular chemistry.
The mapping describes configured behavior, not a living phenotype.
Distributed software control does not establish consciousness.
Stored context can be stale and cannot prove a current claim.
Safeguards can miss threats or overreact; immunity is not absolute.
Accounting limits work but does not model biological metabolism.
Inputs depend on configured tools and may be incomplete.
Software lifecycle stages are explicit runtime policy.
Creating a branch or clone does not imply biological reproduction.
Ecological terms are design analogies with stated operational limits.
Archives preserve selected records; they do not recreate a complete organism.
These are design analogies. They do not imply biological equivalence, consciousness, or validated behavior beyond the implementation and evidence recorded for each concept.
