## Definition
**LoRA** — Canonical frozen-base + compact delta method.
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
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`. Paper result.
- **HR-1576 — `technical_convergence_with` → [[wiki/reference-plus-delta architecture|Reference-Plus-Delta Architecture]]** — **STRONG ANALYTIC CONVERGENCE**; evidence `WEB_LORA`, `ARTICLE`. Shared immutable base plus compact specialization.
#### Epistemic boundary
Evidence status and relationship type are recorded on each typed edge; graph candidates remain labeled **CANDIDATE — DO NOT PROMOTE**.
