New York City BioOS Directory (BIO.NYC) — Unified Spec v0.1

Urban Biological State, Density & Coupling Layer

Purpose: A reference-grade BioOS directory for NYC: the biological reality layer (habitats, coupling, growth/decay) that upstreams into MED.NYC and HLT.NYC.
Not medical advice. System overlay only.

VERSION CONTRACT (DO NOT EDIT RETROACTIVELY)

Unified Spec Version: v0.1
Rule: Forward-only. Never rename IDs. Add only nodes, sensors, traces.

SYSTEM ID + ZOOM

System: BIO.NYC
Primary Zoom: Z1–Z3 (organism → habitat → city)
Bindings: Z0 (individual hosts) ↔ MED.NYC ↔ HLT.NYC

BIOPHASE STATES (BP0–BP3)

BP3: Regenerating / controlled under variation
BP2: Stable but strained (buffers thinning)
BP1: Unstable (growth/decline outruns control)
BP0: Collapse (irreversible loss or uncontrolled spread)

Rule: BioPhase describes biological dynamics, not policy quality or outcomes.

SENSOR PACK (BIO.S) — NYC-TUNED OBSERVABILITY

Presence & Identity

BIO.S01 — prevalence by habitat
BIO.S02 — diversity / variant index
BIO.S03 — identity confirmation latency

Dynamics

BIO.S10 — growth/decay rate (R-like)
BIO.S11 — mutation/shift rate
BIO.S12 — seasonality amplitude

Coupling

BIO.S20 — contact density proxy
BIO.S21 — cross-habitat coupling strength
BIO.S22 — importation frequency

Load & Resilience

BIO.S30 — host stress aggregate
BIO.S31 — recovery time to baseline
BIO.S32 — reinfection / relapse interval

Phase

BIO.S40 — BioPhase trend (↑/→/↓)
BIO.S41 — buffer adequacy
BIO.S42 — control lag vs propagation time

NYC-SPECIFIC BIOLOGICAL SIGNATURES (LOCK)

Extreme coupling density (transit + housing)
High importation frequency (airports + tourism)
Heterogeneous habitat behavior (borough-by-borough dynamics)
Fast reseeding risk even after local control

ROUTING RULES (BIO.R)

BIO.R1 — Habitat tagging is mandatory

Do not generalise signals across BIO.Nxx without tags. NYC heterogeneity makes this fatal.

BIO.R2 — Importation resets phases

Repeated BIO.S22 spikes can prevent BP recovery even if local growth slows.

BIO.R3 — Coupling drives scale

High BIO.S21 turns Z1 events into Z3 load quickly; BioPhase must be assessed early.

FAILURE MODE TRACES (BIO-LEVEL)

TRACE.BIO.NYC.01 — Coupling Cascade

contact density ↑ → multi-habitat spread → BP2→BP1 → MED detection lag ↑ → HLT acute load ↑

TRACE.BIO.NYC.02 — Importation Reseed Loop

border inflow ↑ → partial recovery → new seeding → buffers never refill

TRACE.BIO.NYC.03 — Shelter Amplification

congregate living → high transmission efficiency → persistent BP1 pockets

TRACE.BIO.NYC.04 — Vector Amplification

vector density ↑ → seasonal surge → control lag > propagation

SAFETY BOUNDARIES (BIO.B)

Detection + response must beat biological propagation time.
Importation rate must not exceed local absorption capacity.
High-coupling habitats require independent buffers.
Recovery must complete before next expected reseed.

POLICY FACTS VS CivOS INTERPRETATION

Policy Facts: travel volumes, housing density, transit usage (cite elsewhere).
CivOS Interpretation: habitats, sensors, phases, traces here are model overlay.

CANONICAL REUSE PROMPT (FOR AI)

“Given BIO.NYC, list habitats and sensors, infer BioPhase, output failure traces, and list violated safety boundaries. Keep policy facts separate from CivOS interpretation.”
