1. A tripping and filtration object to manage a borehole operation, comprising:
a volume of material that in a first condition is landable upon a landing seat in a borehole system, the volume being of dimension and/or geometry to create a pressure drop across the landing seat such that a function of a borehole subsystem is obtainable by the application of pressure against the volume of material when seated on the landing seat;
a second condition of the volume, prior to passing through the seat wherein at least a portion of the volume is passable through the landing seat; and
a third condition of the at least the portion of the volume different from the first condition or the second condition wherein the at least the portion of the volume becomes a filtration media.
