ITU Tier 1+ #6: Biological Aging (K_aging)

Tier 1+ Pass-1.5 paper 6 of 45. Operator-algebraic biological-aging theory on telomere + epigenetic + proteostasis + stem + senescence. Defines K_aging = -log ρ_aging as the operator-algebraic modular Hamiltonian on H_telomere ⊗ H_epigenetic ⊗ H_proteostasis ⊗ H_stem ⊗ H_senescence. K_aging inherits from K_QG via the CLPW 2023 type II crossed-product specialised to this scale. Numerical results.
