Gerotype
Gerotype, in the covolution framework, is the type (classification) of a horon's aging — its aged phenotype characterized by which parts of its switching architecture and cybernetic attractors are failing and how far. Gerotype is to aging what genotype is to inheritance: a classification, not a single state. It is the structured readout of accumulated geroflux as the horon moves away from gerostasis under gerorhesis. The classification has two levels — four top-level gerotypes (substrate, regulatory, coupling, lineage), each decomposed into a fidelity / capacity / recovery triad — detailed below.
The Gerotype hierarchy
Top level: 4 Gerotypes
| Code | Name | CAD interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| G-I | Substrate Gerotype (基質老型, 기질노형) | Failure to maintain the physical-informational carrier of the attractor |
| G-II | Regulatory Gerotype (調節老型, 조절노형) | Failure to maintain the control loops that sustain the attractor |
| G-III | Coupling Gerotype (共調老型, 공조노형) | Failure to maintain the BiO-symvironment exchange that defines the attractor |
| G-IV | Lineage Gerotype (繼承老型, 계승노형) | Failure to maintain the generative renewal of the attractor across cell and tissue generations |
Second level: fidelity / capacity / recovery triad
Each top-level Gerotype decomposes into the same three sub-axes:
- Fidelity (F): how accurately the surface performs its function at steady state
- Capacity (C): how much perturbation the surface can absorb before drifting
- Recovery (R): how well the surface returns to set-point after perturbation
