Why this is here
A24 of the exchange recommended Pradeu’s “immunological approach to biological individuality”, so as to “avoid making membrane self-production appear uniquely privileged”, backed by two citations the share hides. The identification of this book is the record’s, as the standard statement of the view; it is a likely referent, not a confirmed one. The record holds it only by report: NOTE-114 (the SEP entry on biological individuals, LIT-168) gives “Pradeu’s immunological criterion (2012: 244)”. Bears on the record’s individuation line and on K02, CASE-111 (a fold in boundary maintenance).
