01 / PURPOSE
What it is for
Allocate resources across specialized niches and apply bounded foraging, diversity, recovery, and persistence policies.
08 · TOPOLOGY PROFILE
Biome
Persisted niches, measured resources and bounded transactional cycles.
An environment tracks niches, specialized populations, resources and evidence; eleven variants share the same revisioned ecological cycle.
PARTIAL · PARTIAL · PERSISTED CYCLES02 / SELECTION
When to use it
Choose Biome when resource pressure, niche yield, local populations, or phase changes matter. The caller or scheduler must invoke each cycle; external workers and providers are not launched by the illustration.
03 / SCIENTIFIC BASIS
Inspiration
and limits.
The model uses ecological concepts such as niches, resource allocation, and foraging as software abstractions. The topology is partial and does not establish biological equivalence or improved mission outcomes.
RUNTIME PATH
What is wired
Session cycle and run operations continue persistent state through observations, recruitment, measured results, allocation and regulation, with authorized adapters and independent output verification.
KNOWN BOUNDARY
What this does not imply
The host must provide admissible observations, execution adapters and a separate global goal verifier. Provider quality and comparative ecological benefit are not established by local tests.
01 / MODELThe principle
The principle
and its equation
Biome keeps a persisted resource-and-niche model with specialized populations. A caller-invoked variant cycle performs one bounded observation, decision, and transformation; it does not restart itself as a continuous ecological loop.
SIMPLIFIED FORMALIZATION
Aᵢ ≥ 0 ; ΣᵢAᵢ + Rᵣₑₛₑᵣᵥₑ ≤ B ; cycleₜ = verify(act(constrain(propose(observe(Sₜ))))) ; next cycle ← caller
Aᵢ is an allocation to an activity and B is the available budget. This is a model of a bounded variant call, not a self-running loop; worker placement, provider calls, and real effects require separate callers and authorization.
02 / VARIANTS AND USE CASES

Select a variant to explore steps based on its documented contract. This illustration does not run agents or call runtime services.

The drawing changes with the topology and variant to show their documented structure and policy. It is an explanatory model; maturity labels and runtime limits still apply.
This status follows the maturity of the variant policy in GenOS’ canonical catalog. “Policy implemented” does not certify end-to-end execution: topology maturity, required adapters, permissions, and evidence remain separate runtime conditions. This illustration does not run agents; its selector is manual. In the runtime, mission signals may select a preset automatically when its preconditions are met.
FAILURE MODES
What can go wrong
- An incorrect environment estimate or external fitness signal can misdirect allocation.
- A budget or evidence gate can block a phase or recovery transition.
- A compute recommendation does not move a worker, and a foraging result does not execute its patch.
EVIDENCE AND BENCHMARKS
What has been checked
Working slice: Eleven variants share bounded transactional cycles, authorized adapters, measured consumption and independent verification, with SQLite restart tests.
Still open: A global goal requires its own verifier; comparative ecological benefit and real provider quality remain unqualified.
Linked evidence: integration. A policy for a variant does not establish a successful end-to-end mission or comparative performance.
No topology-specific benchmark protocol is linked from this profile.
