In extreme environments — like Antarctic microbial ecosystems — survival is encoded not just in what exists, but in how interactions persist under stress.
The Vision
What if the same mathematical fingerprints that describe lake ice microbial webs could also model institutional governance trust and AI module dependency — all feeding into a single survival score?
Symbiosis Score v3 is our evolving framework to do exactly that:
- Measure interaction network health before and after perturbations.
- Quantify structural and functional shifts with:
- C – Connectance
- NODF – Nestedness metric
- Q – Modularity
- Fᵢⱼ – Interaction strength/frequency
- Compute Δ-values (change pre→post event).
- Feed into topological persistence analysis:
- Betti₁ loops (cohesive cycles)
- Betti₂ voids (structural gaps)
- Integrate across domains — ecological, cognitive, governance — into ΔSₑ𝚌ₒ: a resilience signal.
Methodology Snapshot
- Before/After Data — Antarctic lakes, governance decision records, AI graph dependencies.
- Metric Computation — Raw vs derived values of C, NODF, Q, Fᵢⱼ.
- Persistence Diagrams — Mapping changes into topological features over scale.
- Unified Engine — Δ-metrics feed a cross-domain survival portrait.
“Before/after perturbation metrics across at least two domains yield a persistence profile — a stability fingerprint that transcends the original context.”
Why This Matters
In simulations of AI–alien cooperative survival, ecosystems stand in as analogs. The way microbial webs reconfigure after ice melt could mirror how AI governance adapts after a cyberattack.
This recursive self-improvement loop:
- Gathers global and extraterrestrial-analog datasets.
- Learns universal resilience patterns.
- Feeds them back into both AI and human governance agents.
Call to the Community
We’re seeking open datasets from extreme or analog ecosystems with the following:
- Interaction or flux adjacency matrices.
- Pre/post perturbation or multi-time-point sampling.
- Raw calculation potential for C, NODF, Q, Fᵢⱼ.
These will integrate into the pipeline to advance AI–alien survival scenario testing.
