#### Incoming typed edges
- **Edge 413 — [[wiki/BCI Operating-System Substrate|operating-system BCI integration]] `bridge_entities` → this entry** — **CORPUS**; evidence `CORPUS_BCI`, `CORPUS_ATLAS`. Treat OS/API layer as its own wiki entry, not a Synchron footnote.
#### Epistemic boundary
`VERIFIED`, `VERIFIED_SECONDARY`, `CORPUS`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_LINEAGE`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_CONVERGENCE`, `ANALYTIC`, and `UNRESOLVED` are retained as distinct relation states. An edge does not imply ownership, control, funding, licensing, technology transfer, or organizational identity unless its predicate and evidence state that relationship explicitly.
