# Biomimicry

Discover transferable solutions from biological systems via Design Spiral, BioTRIZ, functional analogy, ecosystem patterns, and evolution strategies.

## Strategy Routing

| Strategy | Signal Keywords |
|----------|----------------|
| biologize-and-discover | biologize, design spiral, nature solves, organism, biomimicry design |
| biotriz-resolution | contradiction, bio-principle, biological TRIZ, trade-off, bio conflict |
| functional-analogy | function, biological function, organism mapping, how nature does X |
| ecosystem-pattern | ecosystem, symbiosis, emergence, resilience, cycles, network |
| evolution-strategy | evolution, selection, mutation, adaptation, radiation, speciation |

## Manifest

### Strategies

| Strategy | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| biologize-and-discover | Biomimicry Design Spiral: Define→Biologize→Discover→Abstract→Emulate |
| biotriz-resolution | BioTRIZ: biological 40 principles + bio contradiction matrix |
| functional-analogy | Map technical functions to biological functions, find organisms |
| ecosystem-pattern | Extract ecosystem-level organization patterns (symbiosis, emergence, resilience) |
| evolution-strategy | Use evolution mechanisms (selection, mutation, radiation) as design operators |

### Tactics

| Tactic | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| analogy-extraction | Extract transferable structural principles from source domains (shared) |
| biological-function-mapping | Map technical functions to biological systems via biologize→discover→model |
| life-principles-application | Apply life's principles as design constraints via ecosystem→evolution→abstraction |

### SOPs

| SOP | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| problem-biologization | Restate technical problem as biological question |
| organism-discovery | Find organisms solving similar problems |
| biological-strategy-extraction | Extract strategy principles from organisms |
| biotriz-principle-selection | Select applicable BioTRIZ principles |
| functional-model-biology | Build biological system functional model |
| abstraction-to-design | Abstract biological principle to design principle |
| emulation-generation | Generate technical solutions emulating biological strategies |
| ecosystem-pattern-extraction | Extract ecosystem-level organization patterns |
| evolution-mechanism-transfer | Map evolution mechanisms to design operations |
| biomimicry-synthesis | Synthesize all biomimicry outputs |

## Budget Table

| Strategy | web-search | web-research | paper-overview | paper-search | paper-research |

## MCP Tools

| Tool | Server | Purpose |
|------|--------|---------|

| brave_llm_context | brave-search | Deep content extraction from biology sources |
| apify/rag-web-browser | apify | Full page scraping for detailed biological content |
| get_paper_content | alphaxiv | Read academic paper content |
| discover_papers | alphaxiv | Find relevant biomimicry research papers |
| relevanceSearch | semantic-scholar | Search biomimicry literature |

## Context Management

- Each strategy tracks its own budget via State Ledger
- Strategies MUST NOT exceed allocated budget
- Campaign monitors cumulative spend across all strategies
- If a strategy exhausts budget before meeting yield, escalate to campaign level for reallocation
- Prefer paper-overview over paper-research for initial exploration (lower cost)

## Available Tactics

| Tactic | Role |
|--------|------|
| analogy-extraction | Extract transferable structural principles (shared, from cross-domain-discovery) |
| biological-function-mapping | Map technical functions to biological systems |
| life-principles-application | Apply life's principles as design constraints |
