Primes¶
- Maintenance
- In ecology, it frames the work of species and ecosystems as ongoing maintenance against entropy and disturbance, not as progress toward some ideal state—a perspective Schoenheimer (1942) established at the molecular level by demonstrating, with isotope tracers, that body constituents are in continuous dynamic turnover rather than static structures.
This sourceFoundational isotope-tracer demonstration that the molecular constituents of a living body (proteins, lipids, cells) are in continuous synthesis and degradation while form and function persist — the origin of turnover as constituent replacement within a persisting whole.

- Turnover
- Turnover is the structural pattern in which the individual constituents of a system are continuously replaced — leaving and being replenished — while the aggregate form, function, or identity of the whole persists.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
