# Biological Function Mapping

Map technical functions to biological systems via biologize→discover→model pipeline.

## Stages

### Stage 1: Problem Biologization

Translate the technical problem into a biological function need statement using problem-biologization SOP. Frame in terms of what function nature must achieve, not how.

### Stage 2: Organism Discovery

Search for organisms that solve the biologized problem using organism-discovery SOP. Identify champion organisms across multiple phyla/kingdoms for diversity.

### Stage 3: Functional Modeling

For each promising organism, build a functional model (energy/matter/information flows) using functional-model-biology SOP. Identify the mechanism that achieves the target function.

## Minimum Yield
