bio:INTERPOLATION-AT-MEASUREMENTS v1.0.0 P Linear interpolation between two measurements taken at different times returns each measurement exactly at its own time.
bio:INTERPOLATION-BOUNDED v1.0.0 P Between two measurements, linear interpolation never leaves the range they span: it is at least the smaller measured value and at most the larger.
bio:HEART-RATE-WEEK-PLACEMENT v1.0.0 M heart_rate_at places the Ouyang et al. 2020 median for gestational week w at w + 0.5 weeks, the middle of that week. (Homo sapiens; Each binned median placed at the middle of its bin, checked against the regression of heart rate on gestational week in the paper's abstract)
bio:HEART-RATE-AT v1.0.0 T heart_rate_at(w) returns each Ouyang et al. 2020 weekly median exactly at the middle of its week (6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 weeks; bio:HEART-RATE-WEEK-PLACEMENT), interpolates linearly between neighbouring medians to within 1e-15 relative of an exact rational oracle, stays between the two bracketing medians in floating point too, and rejects weeks outside [6.5, 10.5].

bio:CELL-COUNT-AT v1.0.0 T cell_count_at(h) is 1 before t2 and k from the mean time tk until the next division (k = 2 to 8), using the Lorenzo Rodríguez et al. 2026 means, and rejects hours below 0 or after t8, where the dataset has no division times.

bio:FREQUENCY-HZ v1.0.0 T frequency_hz(id) converts every period, frequency and rate in the dataset to its range in hertz with rhythm-units (f = 1/T for a period, bpm/60 for a rate), matching an exact rational oracle to within 1e-15 relative, and rejects durations, time points, stages and counts.

bio:DATASET-CONSISTENT v1.0.0 T data/rhythms.yaml matches its JSON Schema; every entry is one species, named in its id and its description, with a method and at least one source that has a DOI or PMID; and data/rhythms.json, data/rhythms.csv, the R claims in this ledger and the README tables are exactly what scripts/build.py generates from it, which CI checks on every push.
