A fixed space–time continuum (SτC) biomarker can address this issue. A leukocyte continuum (LC) is a biomarker forming a SτC capable of measuring injury by operators and equations for a self-operating computation.Results A self-operating computer (SOC) LC as a water treatment for leukocyte(s) was generated using leukocyte(s). String leukocyte continuum (StrLC), single-layer leukocyte (SLL) and multilayer leukocyte continuum (MLC) were demonstrated in various LCs using an equation with a primitive-operator. In the SOC, the LC is the inflammation graph of the operation result. The relative differential equation (RDE) shows how to recognize the LC not as a ‘model’ in the conventional-other-operating-computer (cOOC), but as an actual arithmetic unit with a display unit. The SOC shows the essential nature in real time.
