Why this is here

Adjacent material for A1’s “host control of symbiont replication” and A2’s regulatory integration (C), for which neither reply named a work. It is the germ–soma analogy applied to symbionts, a mechanism by which the reproductive cohesion (R) of LIT-1570 could be imposed by the host.
