# SLSA **Entity class:** Provenance **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 **SLSA** — Formal build/source artifact provenance pattern. ## 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 - **SLSA** is associated with artifact provenance. Where, when and how artifact was produced. ### Technology and research relationships - The technical comparison identifies a convergence: **SLSA** converges technically with [[wiki/Continuity Provenance|Continuity Provenance]]. Build/source provenance is direct systems analogue for reconstruction lineage. ### Connections in this corpus - **SLSA** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Restoration Disclosure|Restoration Disclosure]]. Every transformation/build stage can be represented as provenance rather than silently collapsed.  ## 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]], **XIV. Versioning becomes existential** provides the narrative context for **SLSA**: This is why neural data provenance, content-addressed versioning, cryptographic identity, and re-entry pathways are not bureaucratic overhead.  ## 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]] #### Host-infrastructure integration Formal build/source artifact provenance pattern. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0159 — `defines` → `artifact provenance`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_SLSA`.
