The Mandatory Functional Utility Layering of Native Biota (MFLU-NB) is a regulatory and engineering mandate requiring that all new or substantially retrofitted large-scale human infrastructure must actively integrate local native ecological systems to perform quantifiable, mandatory environmental utilities. This framework represents the institutional shift of biodiversity from an optional amenity or 'protected asset' status to an indispensable, measurable operational utility layer equivalent in criticality to structural load-bearing capacity or energy supply. Its scope extends across architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, and resource management, redefining structures not merely as enclosures, but as complex, self-regulating metabolic units.
