# Functional Analogy

Map technical functions to biological functions and find organisms that solve equivalent problems.

## HARD-GATE

Cannot exit strategy until ≥80% of each budget line is consumed OR yield targets are met with justification for remaining budget.

## Available Tactics

| Tactic | Role |
|--------|------|
| biological-function-mapping | Core tactic: map technical→biological functions |
| analogy-extraction | Extract transferable structural principles |

## Available SOPs

| SOP | Role |
|-----|------|
| problem-biologization | Translate technical function to biological function |
| organism-discovery | Find organisms performing the biological function |
| functional-model-biology | Build functional model of biological system |
| biological-strategy-extraction | Extract mechanism-level strategies |
| abstraction-to-design | Abstract to design principles |
| emulation-generation | Generate technical solutions |
| biomimicry-synthesis | Synthesize final output |

## Execution Guidance

1. **Functionalize**: Decompose technical system into functions (energy/matter/information flows)
2. **Biologize**: Use problem-biologization to find biological equivalents
3. **Discover**: Use organism-discovery to find champion organisms
4. **Model**: Use functional-model-biology to understand biological mechanisms
5. **Extract**: Use biological-strategy-extraction for transferable strategies
6. **Abstract**: Use abstraction-to-design for design principles
7. **Emulate**: Use emulation-generation for technical solutions

## Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| Tactic | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| biological-function-mapping | Map technical functions to biological systems. Orchestrates problem-biologization → organism-discovery → functional-model-biology. |

## Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

| SOP | When to use |
| --- | --- |
| abstraction-to-design | Abstract biological principle to design principle. Bridge from biology to engineering. |
| biological-strategy-extraction | Extract strategy principles from organisms. Identify mechanism-level details of how biological systems achieve their function. |
| biomimicry-synthesis | Synthesize all biomimicry outputs into a structured idea report. Integrate biological strategies, design principles, and technical solutions. |
| emulation-generation | Generate technical solutions emulating biological strategies. Bridge from design principle to concrete implementation. |
| functional-model-biology | Build biological system functional model. Map energy, matter, and information flows. |
| organism-discovery | Find organisms solving similar problems. Search across kingdoms for biological champions. |
| problem-biologization | Restate technical problem as biological question. Translate engineering challenges into nature's language. |
