# Scale of Capture **Entity class:** Continuity engineering constraint **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] ## Definition **Scale of Capture** is the spatial, temporal, molecular, functional, and contextual resolution at which a source system is measured. ## Relationships - **Technical relationship:** It constrains [[wiki/Substrate Capture|Substrate Capture]], [[wiki/Neural State Capture|Neural State Capture]], and the [[wiki/State Sufficiency Problem|State Sufficiency Problem]]. - **Source relationship:** This entry is routed from [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] and the [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]]. - **Collection relationship:** The entry belongs to [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] and the person-scale persistence questions maintained by [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]]. ## Epistemic boundary Inclusion in the continuity stack records a documented component, method, model, or analytic distinction; it does not by itself establish whole-person transfer, subjective continuity, or numerical identity.
