The Induction & Activation Layer translates engineered fungal inputs into a calibrated physiological response within the host tree. Its objective is to stimulate resin biosynthesis pathways through measured biotic signaling, avoiding uncontrolled pathogenic progression or excessive structural damage.
Core Functional Elements:
- Physiological Timing Framework
Induction is aligned with tree age, vascular maturity, seasonal conditions, and metabolic readiness. This ensures activation occurs when the host is biologically capable of mounting a stable defensive resin response. - Dose & Application Calibration
Application parameters are standardized to manage:- Signal intensity
- Tissue penetration depth
- Spatial distribution within the trunk
- Frequency of intervention
- Defense Pathway Activation Logic
The system is designed to stimulate plant defense-linked pathways associated with:- Phenolic compound production
- Terpenoid synthesis
- Resin compartmentalization mechanisms
- Stress Modulation & Vitality Safeguards
Continuous observation protocols ensure that:- Tissue necrosis remains localized
- Vascular function is preserved
- Overall tree vigor is maintained
- Standardized Induction SOPs
Field manuals define step-by-step procedures, technician qualifications, safety measures, and documentation requirements. This converts biological activation into a replicable operational process suitable for estate-scale deployment.
This layer serves as the controlled interface between biological science and commercial application—activating resin pathways in a disciplined, measurable, and scalable manner while preserving long-term tree productivity.
