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.
