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.
