Longitudinal Person Model

# Longitudinal Person Model **Entity class:** Technology, method, or technical system **Domain:** Personal Knowledge Representation / Continuity Architecture **Doc Type:** Canonical Concept Node **Maturity:** Emerging **Primary Source:** [[articles/The Art is Long|The Art is Long: Vespucci of Immortality]] **Related:** [[wiki/Personal Continuity Ontology|Personal Continuity Ontology]], [[wiki/Continuity Telemetry|Continuity Telemetry]], [[wiki/Psychological Continuity|Psychological Continuity]], [[wiki/State Sufficiency Problem|State Sufficiency Problem]] --- ## Definition A **longitudinal person model** is a representation built through sustained exposure to a person's language, decisions, relationships, memories, principles, and ways of perceiving, with the aim of preserving more than isolated records. ## Three Axes 1. **Long-duration acquisition** — the model is formed across time rather than from a single snapshot. 2. **Principle-level abstraction** — it attempts to represent characteristic patterns, not merely store documents. 3. **Post-biological queryability** — it can be interrogated after the source person can no longer answer. ## Evidentiary Boundary Behavioral resemblance or posthumous queryability does not establish subjective continuity. The model must be evaluated against [[wiki/Identity-Bearing Invariants|Identity-Bearing Invariants]], provenance, consent, and the [[wiki/State Sufficiency Problem|State Sufficiency Problem]]. ## Relationships  This entry is routed through [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]], [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]], and [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]]. 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. ### Additional Documented Relationships - [[wiki/Effectome|Effectome]] is associated with **Longitudinal Person Model**.  ## Read First in the Wiki  - [[wiki/Identity-Bearing Invariants|Identity-Bearing Invariants]] — supplies the related concept or analytic term context needed to place **Longitudinal Person Model** within the wider system. - [[wiki/Personal Continuity Ontology|Personal Continuity Ontology]] — supplies the related concept or analytic term context needed to place **Longitudinal Person Model** within the wider system. - [[wiki/State Sufficiency Problem|State Sufficiency Problem]] — supplies the related concept or analytic term context needed to place **Longitudinal Person Model** within the wider system. - [[wiki/Neural Interfaces and Continuity Architecture|Neural Interfaces and Continuity Architecture]] — supplies the related technology, method, or technical system context needed to place **Longitudinal Person Model** within the wider system.  ## Related Work in the Corpus  - 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]], **V. Where the simple story breaks** provides the narrative context for **Longitudinal Person Model**: Personal history compresses worst of all, which is the point. - 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]], **XIII. The transform function** provides the narrative context for **Longitudinal Person Model**: Longitudinal dialogic archives may therefore prove disproportionately valuable to reconstruction relative to any quantity of passive surveillance.  ## Research Edges  #### 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]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0743 — `wiki_links_to` → [[wiki/Identity-Bearing Invariants|Identity-Bearing Invariants]]** — **EXISTING WIKI EDGE**; evidence `WIKI_ARCHIVE`.

Settlement requires a source that documents the relationship directly. Suggested missing reciprocal/cross-thread edge.
