## Definition
**U3 molecular data classes** are continuity-modeling categories described in the source article for molecular and maintenance variables that a high-fidelity neural record may need to preserve. Examples include transcription and splice isoforms, RNA editing, receptor balance, phosphorylation gates, local proteostasis, dendritic RNA, and cargo routing.
## Evidentiary boundary
U3 is presented as a conceptual class in theoretical mind-uploading and emulation work, not as a generally adopted clinical or ISO neuroinformatics standard. Its value is to prevent a connectome-only model from erasing molecular state.
