Find cells that look alike now but retain different recorded barcode states.
12 / Reconstructed + embodied history
The same cells.
Four valid meanings of "same."
One frozen ZF1 cohort produces different identity classes under cell-record, transcriptomic-cluster, observed-barcode, and first-four-target keys. The comparison changes; the 750 observations do not. Target position is not treated as edit time.
These are class counts under declared keys, not four estimates of one hidden truth.
01 / Regime-relative result
Choose what equality means
56 source clusters
Cluster -> barcode -> targets 1-4 signature
Arrows show exact table joins and a deterministic first-four-target projection. They do not denote observed cell divisions.
02 / Scientific reading discipline
What the result gives you
It tells you exactly which distinctions survive each equality rule. It does not manufacture a complete pedigree from a partial lineage recorder.
Find one observed barcode state spanning several transcriptomic clusters.
A shared cluster proves ancestry, or a shared barcode proves one unique immediate parent.
The bounded targets 1-4 signature is the paper's full maximum-parsimony tree or an edit-time ordering.
