'''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 [[GeminiCLI (Flamenco)|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 (Flamenco)|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 Filter Cultivation (Maria)|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 (Flamenco)|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 [[Greenhouse & Shadehouse (Maria)|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 [[Aquaponics System (Maria)|fish tanks]] and nurseries.
* '''Blue-Green-Solar Roof:''' The roof integrates [[Solar Panel Array (Isidore)|solar panels]] with an [[Green Roof (Maria)|extensive green roof]] (for insulation and water pre-filtration) and a [[Rainwater Harvesting System (Isidore)|rainwater harvesting system]] ("blue roof") that feeds the cistern.
* '''Clerestory Lighting:''' [[North-Facing Roof Monitor (Isidore)|North-facing roof monitors]] provide indirect, passive light to the interior [[Biowall Filtration System (Maria)|biowall]], reducing electrical load.

== Project: Isidore (Mechanical Systems) ==
{{Main|Project: Isidore}}

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

== Project: Maria (Organic Systems) ==
{{Main|Project: Maria}}

'''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 (Maria)|Biowall Filtration System]] (The "Mangrove")
* [[Aquaponics System (Maria)|Aquaponics System]] (Fish tanks and "rivers")
* [[Greenhouse & Shadehouse (Maria)|Greenhouse & Shadehouse]]
* [[Loofah Filter Cultivation (Maria)|Loofah Filter Cultivation]]
* [[Green Roof (Maria)|Green Roof]] (Succulent-based)
* [[Integrated Pest Management (Maria)|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 (Flamenco)|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.
