# LMCache **Aliases:** LMCache L2; LMCache encryption boundary; LMCache tenant encryption **Entity class:** Memory infrastructure **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 **LMCache** — L0/L1/L2 KV hierarchy, tenant-scoped encryption and durable shared context. 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:** `LMCache L2`, `LMCache encryption boundary`, `LMCache tenant encryption` **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 L0/L1/L2 KV hierarchy, tenant-scoped encryption and durable shared context. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0123 — `stores` → `KV cache across L0 GPU / L1 host / L2 durable tiers`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`, `WEB_LMCACHE_L2`. Explicit hierarchical cache architecture. - **HR-0124 — `encrypts` → `L2 KV cache with AES-GCM`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`. At-rest protection. - **HR-0125 — `scopes` → `L2 encryption keys by tenant cache_salt`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`. Per-tenant derivation. - **HR-0126 — `can_use` → `S3`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`. Durable shared backend. - **HR-0127 — `can_use` → `filesystem`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`, `WEB_LMCACHE_L2`. Durable shared backend. - **HR-0128 — `can_use` → `RESP store`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`. Durable shared backend. - **HR-0129 — `does_not_protect` → `plaintext L0 GPU and L1 host memory`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`. Explicit threat-model limit. - **HR-0130 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Platform Custody|Platform Custody]]** — **ANALYTIC CONVERGENCE**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Tenant memory can be encrypted at rest while active runtime remains visible to serving process. - **HR-0131 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Residual Sovereign|Residual Sovereign]]** — **ANALYTIC CONVERGENCE**; evidence `WEB_LMCACHE_ENCRYPT`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Shows concrete distinction between durable-state custody and runtime trust. - **HR-1405 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Neural Data Sovereignty|Neural Data Sovereignty]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Durable personal context can be encrypted by tenant, although active runtime remains exposed. - **HR-1406 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Platform Custody|Platform Custody]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. At-rest encryption narrows but does not eliminate host power because GPU/host plaintext remains. #### 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 -->
