Is immune repertoire coverage formally a network coverage problem?

Background

An immune repertoire is a population of recognisers with overlapping coverage of an antigen space. Network science has results on coverage and robustness under targeted removal. The fields are studied separately. This asks whether an explicit variable mapping exists, and what it would predict about repertoire robustness that is not already known.

Expeditions and branches

Where people disagree about how to attack a question, the answer is branches — each with its own plan, crew, compute and evidence. Branches are never merged by vote.
