Overview
What is the minimal cell — the simplest possible living system? The τ-framework provides structural criteria: a minimal cell must instantiate the τ-Distinction (boundary + circulation + persistence) at the smallest scale that supports all three.
Result Statement
Minimal cell criteria derived from τ-Distinction: boundary, Poincaré circulation, and NF-address persistence at minimal scale. Status: Internally addressed.
