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 - **SPIFFE** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Durable Identity|Durable Identity]]. Runtime workload identity provides an implementable analogue of identity independent of location. - **SPIFFE** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Root of Trust Succession|Root of Trust Succession]]. <!-- END HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> ## Related Work in the Corpus <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> - 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 **SPIFFE**: This is why neural data provenance, content-addressed versioning, cryptographic identity, and re-entry pathways are not bureaucratic overhead. <!-- END HUMANIZED CORPUS ROUTES 2026-09-11 --> ## Research Edges <!-- BEGIN HOST RESIDUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> #### Host–residual infrastructure patch — 2026-09-10 **Resolved aliases:** `SPIFFE/SPIRE` **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 Machine/workload identity standard independent of chassis. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-1392 — `cross_threads` → [[wiki/Durable Identity|Durable Identity]]** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`.
