SECTION 6
Grubox Recipe Architecture
A Grubox recipe is best treated as a feedstock inventory plus an assembly specification. The system does not simply mix ingredients. It trofirates molecular feedstocks into food tissues and structures. Recipe files may specify water, carbohydrate precursors, lipid precursors, amino acids, mineral compounds, vitamins, pigments, flavor molecules, aroma molecules, tissue architecture, moisture gradients, surface browning, and serving temperature.
NINE ESSENTIAL HUMAN AMINO ACIDS
histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

SECTION 9
Technological Limitation
PROPOSED CANON RULE: Gruboxes can reproduce nutritional composition, texture, and most flavors extremely well, but some biological foods contain unstable compounds, microbial products, or subtle molecular structures that trofiration does not reproduce perfectly. This preserves an economic and cultural role for chefs, restaurants, farms, livestock, alien imports, and fresh ingredients.
