Waste OS — General Waste, Sanitation & Public Cleanliness Lane (Almost-Code Canonical)

Definition Lock (Canonical)
Waste is a containment-and-removal system.
It works only when collection, segregation, treatment, and disposal remain P3-reliable under load across Z0–Z3.
Waste failure is a disease + vermin + trust accelerant that quickly degrades housing, health, and social order.

Coordinate Grammar (Lock)

MISSION:
- remove waste safely with bounded delay
- prevent contamination and vector outbreaks
STACK:
- Z0: frontline collection + cleaning (ground truth)
- Z1: processing, disposal, workforce & equipment
- Z2: system routing & surge control
- Z3: civilisation interface (public health and liveability stability)
OUTPUT:
- WST.Z3.P3.NODE.SANITATION_STABILITY.v0_1

2) Z0 — Collection & Cleaning (Ground Truth)

DIR: WST.Z0.DIR.EXECUTION.v0_1
NODES:
- WST.Z0.NODE.HOUSEHOLD_COLLECTION.v0_1
- WST.Z0.NODE.PUBLIC_BIN_MANAGEMENT.v0_1

- WST.Z0.NODE.BULKY_WASTE_REMOVAL.v0_1
- WST.Z0.NODE.HAZARDOUS_WASTE_HANDLING.v0_1

Z0 Reliability States

TEST: WST.Z0.TEST.P_SCORE.v0_1
P0: waste accumulates; vermin rises; sanitation breakdown
P1: collection inconsistent; depends on hero crews
P2: stable normally; degrades under surge/events
P3: predictable collection + rapid overflow response

Z0 Sensors (Visible Reality)

SENSOR: WST.Z0.SENSOR.CLEANLINESS.v0_1
MEASURES:
- missed pickup rate
- overflow event frequency
- hotspot recurrence rate
- vector sightings trend (rats/cockroaches)
- odor complaint tail
RULE:
- complaint volume is late; hotspot recurrence is earlier

3) Z1 — Processing, Disposal, Workforce & Equipment (Regeneration Layer)

DIR: WST.Z1.DIR.PROCESSING.v0_1
NODES:
- WST.Z1.NODE.SEGREGATION_RECYCLING.v0_1

- WST.Z1.NODE.INCINERATION_LANDFILL.v0_1
- WST.Z1.NODE.FLEET_MAINTENANCE.v0_1
- WST.Z1.NODE.SANITATION_WORKFORCE.v0_1

Z1 Core Failure Mode: Fleet/Workforce Attrition

NODE: WST.Z1.P1.NODE.FLEET_WORKFORCE_ATTRITION.v0_1
TRIGGER:
- underpay / unsafe conditions / equipment aging
EFFECT:
- missed pickups increase
- overflow hotspots become chronic
RESULT:
- slow attrition collapse of sanitation reliability

Z1 Buffer Bind (Surge Capacity)

BIND: WST.Z1.BIND.SURGE_BUFFERS.v0_1
REQUIRES:
- spare fleet capacity
- surge crew scheduling
- spare parts for vehicles
FAILURE:
- Z2 cannot contain event surges (festivals, outbreaks, storms)

4) Z2 — System Routing & Surge Control (Control Plane)

NODE: WST.Z2.P3.NODE.SANITATION_CONTROL.v0_1
FUNCTIONS:
- route waste flows to avoid bottlenecks
- prioritize hotspots and public health risks
- coordinate with WAT (wastewater), HSG (estates), SEC (enforcement)

Z2 Sensors (System Health)

SENSOR: WST.Z2.SENSOR.SYSTEM.v0_1
MEASURES:
- route congestion
- transfer station queue time
- processing downtime
- hotspot growth rate
- response time to overflow events

Z2 Truncation & Stitching (Sanitation)

LOOP: WST.Z2.LOOP.TRUNCATE_STITCH.v0_1
TRUNCATE:
- suppress hotspot growth early (rapid cleaning + removal)
- enforce anti-dumping rules
STITCH:
- add temporary bins/collections
- reroute fleet and processing capacity
GOAL:
- prevent outbreak corridors and trust collapse

5) Z3 — Civilisation Interface (Public Health + Liveability)

NODE: WST.Z3.P3.NODE.SANITATION_STABILITY.v0_1
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- preserve baseline public health
- maintain liveability and civic pride
- prevent sanitation-driven social decay

Z3 Collapse Condition (Waste)

TEST: WST.Z3.TEST.COLLAPSE.v0_1
IF:
- waste accumulation persists
OR
- vector outbreaks rise beyond containment capacity
THEN:
- HLT load spikes
- housing liveability collapses
- social trust and compliance degrade

6) Common Waste Inversions (Failure Signatures)

DIR: WST.DIR.INVERSION_TESTS.v0_1
INVERSION_1:
- more recycling campaigns, more contamination (execution failure)
INVERSION_2:
- “efficiency” cuts buffers, overflow events rise
INVERSION_3:
- cleanliness improves in showcase zones while hotspots worsen elsewhere
INVERSION_4:
- enforcement increases but dumping persists (incentives misaligned)

7) Minimal Viable Sanitation (MVS)

NODE: WST.Z2.NODE.MVS.v0_1
REQUIRES:
- reliable Z0 collection and cleaning
- Z1 fleet + workforce regeneration buffers
- Z2 hotspot routing and surge control authority
NOT REQUIRED:
- maximal recycling complexity
- maximal reporting bureaucracy

8) Waste ↔ Water Bind (Hard)

FROM:
- WST.Z1.NODE.TRANSFER_STATIONS.v0_1
TO:
- WAT.Z0.NODE.WASTEWATER_TREATMENT.v0_1
CLAIM:
- sanitation failure increases wastewater burden; wastewater overflow worsens sanitation

9) Waste → Other Lanes Bind

Waste collapses when containment, collection, and surge buffers lose Phase alignment under load.
