It doesn’t appear to be a closed system, like biosphere2 aspired to be from 1987 to 1991.
The hard part, from my perspective, isn’t “growing food with few inputs and little effort through clever designs” (which seems to be what the bioshelter thing is focued on?) but rather “thoroughly avoiding contamination by whatever bioweapons an evil AGI can cook up and try to spread into your safe zone”.
Fascinating. You caused me to google around and realize “bioshelter” was a sort of an academic trademark for specific people’s research proposals from the 1900s.

The point of a bioshelter is to filter pathogens out of the air.
I was interested in that! Those look amazing. I want to know the price now.
