# Connectome Preservation **Entity class:** Preservation concept **Domain:** Neuroscience / Cryonics **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition Connectome preservation aims to retain the structural pattern of neural connections at sufficient fidelity for later analysis or reconstruction. ## Mechanism and significance Structural preservation may protect information relevant to memory and identity, but it does not by itself establish that dynamic state, molecular state, or subjective continuity has survived. ## Relationships - **Research dossier:** [[research/ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots|ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots]] - **Ontology route:** [[ASI and RSI Timeline Ontology#Generative Humans, Continuity, and Presence|Generative Humans, Continuity, and Presence]] - **Primary fields:** [[Digital Human Twin]] · [[Machine Succession]] · [[Posthumous Avatar]] - **Adjacent concepts:** [[Ancestor Simulation]] · [[Historical Personality Reconstruction]] · [[Placental-Cell Banking]] · [[LifeBank USA]] ## Sources and provenance - [[research/ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots|ASI and RSI Timeline Research Moonshots]] — immediate source for this node's role in the broadcast research map. ## Evidence boundary The research dossier establishes why this entity or concept belongs in the Moonshots ontology. Time-sensitive organizational, product, policy, and performance claims should be checked against the linked primary source or a current authoritative source before reuse as settled fact.
