| Clustered replacement of supportive cells is sufficient to preserve aging tissue function IH_Q_L3_M_G1_2_02 · #40 Replacing supportive cells in clustered neighborhoods across five compartments at ages 60 and 75 would preserve function and survival. Equal-count dispersed replacement must fail, and independently measured changes in producer fitness with local producer frequency must support the proposed mechanism.

| Excess muscle connections drive aging-related loss of useful work IH_Q_L3_M_G1_3_01 · #41 In aged muscle preparations, replacing selected cross-connections with sliding segments should immediately increase useful cyclic work despite fewer working links. Reconnecting the same paths should reverse the gain; no immediate reversible benefit would reject the mechanism. Explains the gap: Does restoring a connected minority of tissue interfaces outperform replacing the lowest-reserve compartment, with functional rescue appearing only above a percolation threshold despite equal replacement volume?

| Dispersed repair sustains tissue function by keeping cells involved in matrix maintenance IH_Q_L3_M_G1_3_02 · #42 In patterned stromal-cell and muscle constructs, dispersed repair would sustain extracellular-matrix maintenance as cells contribute more when contributors are rare. Better cyclic work after matrix turnover, lost when participation is fixed, would distinguish this mechanism from an initial mechanical benefit.

| Scaffold enzymes preserve protective antibody memory by editing antibody sugars IH_Q_L3_M_G1_4_01 · #43 In antigen-experienced aged models, scaffold enzymes would sustain antibody protection despite unchanged antibody-producing cells. Restoring protection to sequence-identical antibodies with a cell-free scaffold enzyme fraction would distinguish this mechanism. Explains the gap: Can replacing an aged acellular scaffold erase protective immune memory despite retaining its resident lymphocytes, and does preserving niche geometry prevent that loss better than increasing replacement-cell survival?

| Scaffold replacement weakens immune protection by changing how anchored antigens release IH_Q_L3_M_G1_4_02 · #44 During B-cell pulling, altered antigen anchorage on replacement scaffolds could favor cross-reactive memory cells over protective cells. Unchanged single-cell extraction and activation despite verified changes in anchor rupture kinetics would reject this mechanism.

| Sustained exposure to young matrix signals can weaken an aged heart IH_Q_L3_M_G1_5_01 · #45 In aged, noninfarcted myocardium, sustained young-ligand exposure may suppress fibroblasts yet reduce heart-muscle force. The deciding observation is whether excluding maturation-disrupting ligands restores reserve while preserving fibroblast suppression and extracellular architecture. Explains the gap: Does young-ligand matrix replacement fail to improve durable cardiac function despite suppressing fibroblast activation, or can matched nonreplacement ligand modulation reproduce its entire benefit with less harm?

| Redundant matrix load paths determine whether heart tissue replacement gives lasting benefit IH_Q_L3_M_G1_5_02 · #46 In engineered cardiac tissues, replacement should preserve deformation and force transfer after local matrix losses when it restores redundant load paths. Changing ligand activity without replacement should perform comparably when the retained matrix already has enough paths.
