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 - **Sigstore** is associated with artifact signature to OIDC identity. Keyless signing via Fulcio. - **Sigstore** is associated with software chain of custody. Explicit tooling description. ### Technology and research relationships - The technical comparison identifies a convergence: **Sigstore** converges technically with [[wiki/Continuity Provenance|Continuity Provenance]]. Identity-bound artifact lineage provides a concrete provenance pattern. ### Additional Documented Relationships - **Sigstore** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Digital Thread|Digital Thread]]. Signed artifacts and append-only transparency logs create traceable state lineage. - **Sigstore** is connected in the corpus with [[wiki/Forensic Identity Attestation|Forensic Identity Attestation]]. Artifact hash + identity + certificate + timestamp provide forensic verification pattern. <!-- 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 **Sigstore**: 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:** `Sigstore/Rekor` **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 Identity-bound artifact signatures and transparency. #### Outgoing typed edges - **HR-0154 — `binds` → `artifact signature to OIDC identity`** — **VERIFIED EXTERNAL**; evidence `WEB_SIGSTORE`.
