QEMU Live Migration - Bryant McGill

# 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. ## 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. ### Key Relationships - **QEMU live migration** requires compatible destination configuration. ### Connections in this corpus - **QEMU live migration** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Migration Right|Migration Right]]. Portable live state is a prerequisite for meaningful right to leave a host. ### Additional Documented Relationships - The technical comparison identifies a convergence: **QEMU Live Migration** converges technically with [[wiki/Re-entry Pathways|Re-entry Pathways]]. - **QEMU Live Migration** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Technical Obsolescence|Technical Obsolescence]].  ## 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]], **Host-infrastructure crosswalk** provides the narrative context for **QEMU Live Migration**: On the runtime side, the Stateful Runtime Environment, Amazon Bedrock, AWS Trainium, OpenAI Frontier, and the Microsoft Model System externalize memory, identity, permissions, tools, context, and action space around an inference…  ## Research Edges  #### 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`.
