## Definition
**KV Cache** — Active transformer context state; now independently tiered, transferred, encrypted and persisted.
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
Active transformer context state; now independently tiered, transferred, encrypted and persisted.
#### Incoming typed edges
- **HR-0110 — [[wiki/NVIDIA CMX|NVIDIA CMX]] `stores` → this entry** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_NVIDIA_CMX`, `WEB_NVIDIA_CMX_TECH`. Shared context memory.
#### Epistemic boundary
Evidence status and relationship type are recorded on each typed edge; graph candidates remain labeled **CANDIDATE — DO NOT PROMOTE**.
