## 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.

#### 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**.
