The biology
A lysogen integrates its DNA at a specific chromosomal site so it co-replicates with the host, lost only about once per million divisions. Integration is site-specific recombination: Int recombines the phage and host sites to insert; Int together with Xis runs the exact reverse to excise. The direction is controlled — infection integrates, induction excises.
A place written into the book, and out again
This is the address written into the book at a chosen place and taken out again cleanly — a reversible edit of the coordinate. That the same machinery runs forward and backward, and that excision restores the original exactly, is conservation: the linking number and the sequence are preserved across the round trip, an instance of dΣΤ = 0. The field can add a coordinate to another's address and later remove it without loss.
Where this departs from current science
| Current science says | The Force of Time says |
|---|---|
| Integration/excision are opposed enzymatic recombinations. | They are a reversible, conserved edit of the address — the round trip preserves the coordinate. |
| Directionality is set by Xis availability. | It is the controlled writing-in and taking-out of a coordinate without loss. |
