Endurative

undefined: An endurative is the result of fusing or splitting system member(s) wherein the first component member remains. This could be likened to mitosis, when the cell divides, but the first cell still exists and does not become a new one.

In the context of splitting, the first component member may split multiple enduratives at once.

In both fusion and splitting, the enduratives may appear to function in a similar way to the first components. They may appear to have parts of the first components within themselves in a similar way to other fusions/splits.

Endurative comes from the word "endure" meaning "remain in existence; last."
