Its source context is developed in [[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]] and [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]]. Status-qualified source edges are preserved in the terminal Research Edges section. ### Technology and research relationships - **Kubernetes Coordinated Leader Election** uses LeaseCandidate API. ### Key Relationships - **Kubernetes Coordinated Leader Election** is associated with one active leader. Others remain followers. ### Additional Documented Relationships - **Kubernetes Coordinated Leader Election** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Continuity Election|Continuity Election]]. Lease-based selection of one active leader is a technical analogue of choosing one authorized active instance. - The technical comparison identifies a convergence: **Kubernetes Coordinated Leader Election** converges technically with [[wiki/Personal Authoritative State|Personal Authoritative State]]. If a continuity regime desired one authorized active branch. distributed systems already supply control patterns.  ## Research Edges  #### Host–residual infrastructure patch — 2026-09-10 **Resolved aliases:** `leader election and fencing`, `Kubernetes leader election` **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 Lease-based one-leader policy; technical analogue of authorized active instance. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0172 — `uses` → `LeaseCandidate API`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_K8S_LEADER`.
