analogy_ecosystem
Chaos lab
Map OPUS onto something else — a biological ecosystem, a city, an immune system — and let the analogy surface design moves that would never emerge from staring at the codebase.
analogy_ensemble
OPUS as a musical ensemble
analogy_immune
OPUS as an immune system
analogy_cardiac
OPUS health as cardiac rhythm
analogy_mycorrhiza
Cross-OPUS wires as a mycorrhizal network
Why this lab exists
The original ALEF protocol demanded a chaos lab where worlds are compared (biology to code) and solutions surface from identifying gaps. Each analogy produces concrete actions or it gets deleted.
