I think your idea is very clever.

There is a bigger issue here that you might not see.

ALL interaction between any two organisms is one of 3 behaviors.
You got two of them:
1 move toward others/ move toward nurturing - symbiosis, mutualism
2. move against others/ move against non nurturing - conflict
3. separate from others/ excrete out waste - no contact
(ex. of #3: different species of birds use different levels of a tree
to
avoid conflict with other bird species.

IMO these 3 (out of 4 possible options of evolution) cover
all relations between any two individuals or species or
between any single organism and its environment.

And they in turn evolved from energy in/waste out system.

So I suggest to evolve bio intelligence follow what works
for all life - 4 options.
