I. FORMAL DEFINITION
Single-Cell Intelligence Mapping (SCIM)
Single-Cell Intelligence Mapping (SCIM) is the SCF-defined methodology for identifying, quantifying, visualizing, and modeling the decision-making, communication, adaptive behavior, regenerative capacity, signaling integrity, and intelligence state of individual cells within a biological system.
Within SCF:
Single-Cell Intelligence Mapping is the process of determining how each individual cell perceives, interprets, prioritizes, communicates, adapts, repairs, and responds within Distributed Biological Intelligence networks.
SCIM extends beyond traditional single-cell omics by characterizing:
- Cellular decision logic
- Cellular information processing
- Cellular adaptive capacity
- Cellular communication behavior
- Cellular repair intelligence
- Cellular regenerative potential
- Cellular contribution to system-wide intelligence
