To facilitate integration and reconciliation between similar experiments, we need relativistic analogues that can be independent of experimental protocols; yet reasonably represent biological components and interactions among them, along with hypothesized mechanistic details. We designed, constructed and validated an analogue of a recirculating, isolated perfused liver used in a study of drug interactions between digoxin, rifampicin and quinidine. We believe these analogues can evolve into executable biological knowledge embodiments that provide concrete instances of knowledge and means to falsify mechanistic hypotheses.
