Immortals.

Synopsis :
Every biological population on the planet has a small percentage of immortals .This is the equivalent of long-range time-wise communication tendrils in the small-world model .
Discussion :
Ageing was assumed to be function of number of iterations in age . This has been disproved experimentally .
See "NewScientist " 6 Aug 2011 p 43 " Life begins at 90"
Ageing can be halted and even reversed .
The normal procedure is evolutionary , dependant on the smallest maximum age of reproduction . In other words , an epigenetic mechanism using histone wrapping . The system watches other parts .
This can be spoofed .
You can halt ageing , since the mechanisms are already there .
Reversing them is slightly harder .
Ironic . These mechanisms will become irrelevant as we go into the Singularity .
You want to live forever in this decrepid locale ?
