OODA WIKI:Flamenco

Project: Flamenco is a whole-systems design for a self-sufficient, closed-loop warehouse and server facility. The project's core principle is the application of Industrial ecology, where every waste stream (such as heat, water, or CO2) is captured and used as a resource for another component of the system.

The project is designed as an integrated "living" system, combining mechanical, organic, and artificial intelligence components to achieve systemic resilience and eliminate external dependencies. The entire system is designed to function as a unified, self-regulating entity, with the ultimate goal of being orchestrated by a fine-tuned AI orchestrator.

The project is divided into two primary sub-projects:

• Project: Isidore: Encompasses all mechanical, energy, and "hard tech" systems.
• Project: Maria: Encompasses all organic, biological, and "living" systems.

Core Principles

Project: Flamenco is guided by three core principles:

1. Closed-Loop Design: No waste. All outputs from one system must serve as inputs for another. This is most evident in the capture of 100% of waste heat from the Server Room for use in food production and energy generation. 2. Internalized Inputs: A radical focus on eliminating external dependencies. This includes on-site energy generation (solar + thermal), on-site water capture (rainwater + atmospheric), on-site air/water filtration (biological), and on-site material production (e.g., Loofah filters). 3. Dynamic Self-Regulation: The system is designed to be self-regulating, balancing its own heat, energy, and resource flows. This "living" quality will be observed and learned by an AI Orchestration layer, which will eventually help optimize and manage these flows.

System Architecture

The project is housed in a passive-solar-oriented warehouse designed to work with the Arizona climate.

• Building Orientation: The long walls of the warehouse face East/West, with the short walls facing North/South. This minimizes heat gain.
• Building Envelope:

   * Shadehouse "Moat": The long E/W walls are shielded by a 5-foot-wide shadehouse, which blocks low-angle sun and serves as a thermal shield. This area also houses the aquaponic "rivers."
   * Greenhouse Nodes: The N/S ends of the building house enclosed greenhouses for the primary fish tanks and nurseries.
   * Blue-Green-Solar Roof: The roof integrates solar panels with an extensive green roof (for insulation and water pre-filtration) and a rainwater harvesting system ("blue roof") that feeds the cistern.
   * Clerestory Lighting: North-facing roof monitors provide indirect, passive light to the interior biowall, reducing electrical load.

Project: Isidore (Mechanical Systems)

Project: Isidore comprises the "hard" infrastructure of Project: Flamenco. It is the "engine" that provides the power, heat, and cooling for the facility. Its primary function is to capture, convert, and move energy.

Key components include:

• Server Room (Primary Heat Source)
• Heat Recovery System
• Central Thermal Battery (Subterranean Cistern)
• Liquid-to-Liquid Heat Exchanger
• Stirling Engine Array (Hybrid mechanical/electrical)
• Centrifugal Clutch & Gearbox
• Power Generation & Storage (Solar, Batteries, Alternators)
• Waste Heat Food Dehydrator
• Rainwater Harvesting System

Project: Maria (Organic Systems)

Project: Maria comprises the "living" infrastructure of Project: Flamenco. It is the "lungs and kidneys" of the system, responsible for air and water filtration, food production, and internalizing resource loops.

Key components include:

• Biowall Filtration System (The "Mangrove")
• Aquaponics System (Fish tanks and "rivers")
• Greenhouse & Shadehouse
• Loofah Filter Cultivation
• Green Roof (Succulent-based)
• Biological Pest Control (Beneficial insects)

AI Orchestration

The final layer of Project: Flamenco is the integration of an AI orchestration layer, initially based on a locally-hosted GeminiCLI. This wiki, along with its future references and data logs, will serve as the primary tuning and training data for the orchestrator.

The goal is not just to monitor the system, but for the AI to become a dynamic, integrated part of the system's "breathing" process, optimizing resource flows (e.g., water, heat, nutrients) and managing specialized sub-models for various tasks.
