Status-qualified source edges are preserved in the terminal Research Edges section. ### Key Relationships - **CRIU** is associated with Linux process state. Captures process tree, memory, files, credentials etc. - **CRIU** is associated with Linux process state. Recreates process tree/resources and resumes. - **CRIU** separates process state from current physical host. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - In [[articles/Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta|Mind Uploading and AI — The Host is Reusable and the Person is the Delta]], **VII.
