Excellent!  I suppose the things I'm talking about would exhibit something like 
a persistent homology.  Of course, I'm looking for a word to describe a subset 
of those (the particular way something like a capillary bed branches out from 
the large blood vessels).  So, it would have to be a type of persistent 
homology.

But the concept of "a filtration" is also evocative, both in its math and 
biological/physical meanings.  Much of what the tissue samplers are doing is 
counting/indexing objects and branches in an attempt to identify weirdness.
