#### Outgoing typed edges
- **Edge 164 — `developed` → [[wiki/Neurograins|neurograins concept]]** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `DARPA_NESD_AWARDS`. Distributed untethered submillimeter cortical sensors, RF-powered.
#### 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.
