galaxy sources and sinks

In a low-research day, Jiang and I discussed the idea of using continuity to understand galaxy evolution. That is, changes in the number density of any population of galaxies should be quantitatively explained by sources of galaxies in that population, sinks, and evolution within the population. We can measure each of these terms for some galaxy populations, so there is a rich set of projects here.
