// TERRAFORMING — PHASE 4
Biosphere
LONGExtremophile and pioneer-organism seeding into a closed-loop ecology.
// OVERVIEW
Phase 4 introduces life: extremophile and pioneer-organism seeding into a closed-loop ecology — the last and most consequential phase.
It does not proceed without planetary-protection clearance. Forward-contamination review is a hard gate, not a milestone.
// WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW
Now: closed-loop ecology research under strict containment.
// DEPENDENCIES
Gated on planetary protection; depends on Phases 1–3.
// METHODS
01
Pioneer organisms
Extremophiles that tolerate early conditions.
02
Closed ecology
Build a self-regulating biological loop.
03
Containment
Strict protocols under COSPAR review.
// RESEARCH
We don't speculate. We sequence.
Every phase has a horizon and a piece of work happening at its near edge today.
