# Fencing Token **Aliases:** fencing token; fencing tokens **Entity class:** Single-active-state control **Integration priority:** P1 **Collections:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] **Canonical source article:** [[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]] ## Definition **Fencing Token** — Monotonic token rejects stale writers; link to Fork Rights and Personal Authoritative State. This entry treats the technology or concept as a concrete part, precedent, or comparison within host-infrastructure analysis; it does not by itself establish consciousness transfer, personal continuity, or a company's intent to build either. <!-- BEGIN HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ## Relationships ### Host–residual infrastructure patch — 2026-09-10 **Resolved aliases:** `fencing token`, `fencing tokens` **Collections:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] **Canonical source article:** [[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]] **Related acquisition source:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Mind Uploading and AI Host-Residual Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Mind Uploading and AI Host-Residual Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] #### Host-infrastructure integration Monotonic token rejects stale writers; link to Fork Rights and Personal Authoritative State. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0174 — `prevents` → `stale lease holder from writing`** — **VERIFIED TECHNICAL**; evidence `WEB_FENCING`. Monotonically increasing token. - **HR-1401 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Personal Authoritative State|Personal Authoritative State]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Monotonic authority tokens can reject stale copies after failover. - **HR-1402 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Fork Rights|Fork Rights]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. A technical single-writer regime may suppress legitimate post-fork branches; governance must decide before enforcement. #### Epistemic boundary Evidence status and relationship type are recorded on each typed edge; graph candidates remain labeled **CANDIDATE — DO NOT PROMOTE**. <!-- END HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 -->
