#### Incoming typed edges
- **Edge 135 — [[wiki/MOANA|MOANA]] `uses` → this entry** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `DARPA_N3`, `RICE_MOANA`.
#### 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.
