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 **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 Canonical frozen-base + compact delta method. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-1573 — `freezes` → `pretrained base model weights`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LORA`. Parameter-efficient adaptation. - **HR-1574 — `adds` → `low-rank trainable delta matrices`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LORA`. Parameter-efficient adaptation. - **HR-1575 — `reduced_trainable_parameters_by` → `~10,000x vs GPT-3 175B full fine-tuning`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_LORA`.
