Transit Branches Age by Route Cycles, Not by Years
Machine populations that live between colonies often measure maturity through route completion, reconfiguration, and wear rather than through settled chronology.

Machine populations that live between colonies often measure maturity through route completion, reconfiguration, and wear rather than through settled chronology.
Biohybrid adaptation spread widely, but some branches judged pure synthetic continuity to be the stronger long-term path.
Near-sun operations forced machine branches to treat thermal regulation as a civic condition rather than a background system.
Once machine lives became long enough, memory storage stopped being a technical archive and became part of civic continuity.
