# host-residual architecture **Entity class:** Technology, concept, place, event, or ecosystem entity **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] ## Definition **Host–Residual Architecture** separates reusable civilization-scale structure from the state that identifies one person. The host supplies shared human and world models, reference systems, compute, memory, storage, embodiment, migration, identity, and interpretive services. A [[wiki/Continuity Sidecar|Continuity Sidecar]] supplies the [[wiki/Person-Specific Residual|person-specific residual]], its dependencies, provenance, permissions, and current checkpoint. Re-instantiation joins those layers on a [[wiki/Receiving Substrate|Receiving Substrate]] through versioned [[wiki/Re-entry Pathways|re-entry pathways]]. The architecture makes the acquisition boundary explicit: computational sharing can reduce redundant representation, while the [[wiki/Minimum Causally Sufficient Residual|minimum causally sufficient residual]] remains unknown. <!-- BEGIN CONSCIOUSNESS MAPPING TRANSFER RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ## Relationships ### Consciousness mapping and transfer graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] · [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] · [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] #### Incoming typed edges - **Edge 643 — [[wiki/Distributed Relational Compression|Distributed Relational Compression]] `supports_conceptually` → this entry** — **ARTICLE_ANALYTIC**; evidence `ARTICLE_NEW`.
