The entry preserves direction, predicate, evidence key, and epistemic status without treating analogy, adjacency, lexical coincidence, or shared capability as proof of ownership, funding, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control. <!-- BEGIN INTERFACE SOFT SOVEREIGNTY RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ## Relationships ### Interface and soft-sovereignty graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Interface and Soft Sovereignty Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Interface and Soft Sovereignty Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/The Next Interface Layer|The Next Interface Layer]] · [[articles/The Magic Kingdom and the Managed State|The Magic Kingdom and the Managed State]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **Edge 490 — `principal_investigator` → [[wiki/Jacob Robinson|Jacob Robinson]]** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_NEXT`, `DARPA_N3`. - **Edge 491 — `project` → [[wiki/MOANA|MOANA]]** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_NEXT`, `DARPA_N3`. #### Epistemic boundary `VERIFIED`, `VERIFIED_SECONDARY`, `CORPUS_V`, `CORPUS_I`, `CORPUS_H`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_LINEAGE`, `STRONG_STRUCTURAL_CONVERGENCE`, `ANALYTIC`, and `UNRESOLVED` remain distinct relationship states. `[V]` is documented, `[I]` is structural inference, `[H]` is hypothesis, and `[OQ]` is an open question. No edge establishes ownership, funding, licensing, technology transfer, operational integration, intelligence activity, or institutional control unless its predicate and evidence explicitly do so. <!-- END INTERFACE SOFT SOVEREIGNTY RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 -->
