Biological Continuity examines what survives transfer, subdivision, dormancy, and recovery. The work begins with ordinary measures of activity and inheritance, then separates persistence of a population from survival of any one component.
Facilities support continuous culture, controlled environments, reference specimens, and long-interval recovery. Renewal is assigned by observed activity rather than elapsed time alone.
Current programs
Preserves useful biological activity and inherited characteristics across scheduled replenishment, subdivision, and dormancy.
Population persistence does not establish individual survival.
Studies the interfaces between observed and unobserved, admitted and excluded, and internal and external populations.
A crossing may be recorded on both sides without duplication.
Studies resource allocation, labor, governance, maintenance, and biological support within a closed operating population.
Population substitution does not reset the continuity interval.
