Framework Concept
Biological Drift
Biological Drift is the BAT framework phrase for measurable movement away from a stable biological state over time.
The phrase is useful because it gives the BAT glossary a neutral way to discuss change before symptoms, diagnosis, or intervention become the primary frame.
Why the Concept Matters
Biological Drift functions as a bridge concept. It explains why longitudinal review is necessary and why BAT terms are organized around trend, direction, and relationship rather than isolated one-time readings.
