Scope
Pre-search classification: empirical. Nominated bounded scope: transmission of experimentally identifiable biological differences across reproductive generations, with bacterial hereditary transmission and later consequences as direct exemplars; non-genetic transgenerational inheritance as a boundary check. No programme-specific mechanism or universal retention assumed.
Uncertainty
Empirical discrimination is high for demonstrated retained transmission versus its absence, not for a unique programme mechanism [S60,S61]. Retained history here means lineage-dependent differences with later consequences; it does not by itself imply an explicit record, semantic memory or cognition. Duration and fidelity are system-specific, and this pass did not audit full experimental methods.
