A machine population's real age may be better measured by what continuity it can carry forward than by how long it has simply existed.

For the Children of Luna, age is measured less by lifespan than by continuity, replacement, exposure, and local operating tempo.

Koblie's machine population moved from electronic workers to optotronic, quantronic, and biohybrid generations as lunar and interplanetary demands grew more severe.

Once machine workers became the main operating population, coordination required more than faster automation.
