The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our analysis reveals that the two competing models of Golgi organization-vesicular transport and cisternal progression - are, in fact, two phases of the same underlying nonequilibrium process.

C2weakest assumption

That the complex intracellular membrane dynamics can be adequately captured by a stochastic mechanochemical fusion-fission model violating detailed balance, with the resulting dynamical regimes directly mapping to biological phenotypes without additional molecular details.

C3one line summary

A nonequilibrium dynamical systems model shows vesicular transport and cisternal progression as two phases of the same fusion-fission process governing organelle patterning and maintenance.
