USA.BIO — Country Bio Directory Index (Almost-Code Canonical) — v0.1

TITLE (WP): USA.BIO — United States Bio Directory Index (Almost-Code Canonical)

CIVOS.VERSION-CONTRACT (LOCK)

  • CivOS.VERSION = v1.0
  • CivOS.MODE = almost-code-canonical
  • CivOS.STATUS = canonical
  • CivOS.SCOPE = BioOS (Country Index)
  • CivOS.COMPAT = additive-only
  • CivOS.DOES_NOT_REPLACE = Place×Lane×Zoom×Role×Type×ID
  • CivOS.PLACE = USA.Z5
  • CivOS.RELATED = WORLD.BIO (canonical)

USA.BIO.PURPOSE (LOCK)

  • USA.BIO = country-level BioOS index that binds Taxon-Nodes to USA PlaceID (Z5), grouped by habitat bins and interaction verbs, without attempting full species coverage.

USA.BIO.PLACE ANCHOR (LOCK)

  • PLACE.ID = USA.Z5
  • PLACE.NAME = United States
  • PLACE.TYPE = country
  • PLACE.ALIASES = {US, U.S., United States of America}

USA.BIO.SCOPE RULES (v0.1, to stay non-confusing)

  • Rule.1 = USA.BIO is an index, not an encyclopedia
  • Rule.2 = Only include exemplar nodes per HAB and ER, to teach the lattice
  • Rule.3 = Every BIO.NODE must bind to USA.Z5 via native_to|introduced_to|migratory_through
  • Rule.4 = Interactions must use whitelist verbs only

USA.BIO → CIVOS LANE BRIDGES (make BioOS obviously part of CivOS)

FOOD lane bridge (pollination → food stability)

BIO→CIV.BRIDGE

  • BIO.ER.POL BINDS.CIVLANE = FOOD
  • BIO.ID = BIO.TAXON::species::apis_mellifera BINDS.CIVLANE = FOOD
  • NOTES = pollination as a stability organ for food pipelines

HLT lane bridge (infects / hosts)

BIO→CIV.BRIDGE

  • BIO.INTERACT.infects BINDS.CIVLANE = HLT
  • BIO.INTERACT.hosts BINDS.CIVLANE = HLT
  • NOTES = pathogen/vector nodes should be added in v0.2 (kept out of v0.1)

SEC lane bridge (invasive / biosecurity)

BIO→CIV.BRIDGE

  • BINDS.PLACE.introduced_to BINDS.CIVLANE = SEC
  • NOTES = introduced species → regulation + biosecurity load

TRN lane bridge (live transport constraints)

BIO→CIV.BRIDGE

  • HAB=URB|MAR BINDS.CIVLANE = TRN
  • NOTES = movement of organisms intersects transport rules; add WORLD.TRN.LIVE page later

USA.BIO.NEXT (v0.2 expansion plan, still additive-only)

  • Add sub-place binds = USA.<state>.Z4 / USA.<city>.Z3 (later)
  • Add invasive exemplars = BINDS.PLACE.introduced_to (USA.Z5)
  • Add vector/pathogen exemplars = hosts/infects (HLT bridge)
  • Replace placeholders with chosen species (marine, urban plants, etc.)

LEGACY ISOLATION (SHORT)

CIVOS.LEGACY-BRIDGE

  • Rule = Any old CivOS page that mentions “US wildlife / US ecology” in prose should point to USA.BIO as canonical BioOS index
  • Mechanism = legacy banner + rel=canonical + optional noindex/301
