We develop foundational aspects of stability theory in affine logic. On the one hand,
we prove appropriate affine versions of many classical results, including definability of
types, existence of nonforking extensions, and other fundamental properties of forking
calculus. Most notably, stationarity holds over arbitrary sets (in fact, every type
is Lascar strong). On the other hand, we prove that stability is preserved
under direct integrals of measurable fields of structures. We deduce that
stability in the extremal models of an affine theory implies stability of the
theory. We also deduce that the affine part of a stable continuous logic theory
is affinely stable, generalising the result of preservation of stability under
randomisations.
