# QEMU Live Migration **Aliases:** QEMU; QEMU live migration; QEMU versioned machine types **Entity class:** State migration **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 **QEMU Live Migration** — Compatibility-sensitive migration; model for Re-entry Pathways and technical obsolescence. 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:** `QEMU`, `QEMU live migration`, `QEMU versioned machine types` **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 Compatibility-sensitive migration; model for Re-entry Pathways and technical obsolescence. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0165 — `supports` → `guest state save and restore`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_QEMU_MIGRATION`. Device/guest state serialization. - **HR-0166 — `supports` → `live migration`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_QEMU_MIGRATION`. Moves running guest to another machine. - **HR-0167 — `requires` → `compatible destination configuration`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_QEMU_MIGRATION`, `WEB_QEMU_COMPAT`. Versioned machine types preserve compatibility. - **HR-0168 — `technical_convergence_with` → [[wiki/Re-entry Pathways|Re-entry Pathways]]** — **STRONG ANALYTIC CONVERGENCE**; evidence `WEB_QEMU_COMPAT`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Backward-compatible runtime definitions preserve restorability across host upgrades. - **HR-1403 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Technical Obsolescence|Technical Obsolescence]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Backward-compatible machine definitions preserve migratability as runtime evolves. - **HR-1404 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Migration Right|Migration Right]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Portable live state is a prerequisite for meaningful right to leave a host. #### 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 -->
