I immediately think of Geoffrey West’s work. (Although that doesn’t immediately provide a catchy phrase.)

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] looking for a word
Here's a paper
(2010) that describes a hub attraction dynamical growth model (HADGM) that exhibits fractal and probabilistic behavior for forming nodes in a complex network.
But you are looking for a descriptive word or phrase. Perhaps, "dynamic growth models with fractally-associative (or nonassociative) hubs." It seems to have
something to do with the behavior of forming nodes (connections); so that seems to be the focus for your description. Not sure, but would agree that fractile behavior seems at the root of what you are trying to describe: some "hubbing" and "hubbing-resistance,"
so to speak.
I like the amber Belgian beers ... 😋

Excellent! I suppose the things I'm talking about would exhibit something like a persistent homology. Of course, I'm looking for a word to describe a subset of those (the particular way something like a capillary bed branches out from the large blood vessels). So, it would have to be a type of persistent homology.
But the concept of "a filtration" is also evocative, both in its math and biological/physical meanings. Much of what the tissue samplers are doing is counting/indexing objects and branches in an attempt to identify weirdness.
