 in digital conservation the same applies ie. transcoding allows for preservation/transmission of the cultural artefact, but material substrate is also preserved/retained (eg. format substrates) in the name of probabilistic science (ie. future proofing for narrowing probability of data loss/interpretation through technological advance)
