No edge establishes ownership, funding, licensing, technology transfer, operational integration, intelligence activity, or institutional control unless its predicate and evidence explicitly do so.   ### Consciousness mapping and transfer graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] · [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] · [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **Edge 429 — `announced_licensing_agreement_with` → [[wiki/OpenAI|OpenAI]]** — **PRIOR_INTERFACE_VERIFIED**; evidence `DISNEY_OPENAI`, `OPENAI_DISNEY`. #### Incoming typed edges - **Edge 430 — [[wiki/OpenAI|OpenAI]] `announced_licensing_agreement_with` → this entry** — **PRIOR_INTERFACE_VERIFIED**; evidence `DISNEY_OPENAI`, `OPENAI_DISNEY`. #### Epistemic boundary Primary-source, peer-reviewed, company-claim, preprint, analytic, inherited-corpus, dynamic-metric, source-version-conflict, and unresolved states remain distinct. A current primary source supersedes a stale uncertainty label without erasing the correction history. No edge establishes ownership, funding, licensing, program lineage, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control unless its predicate and evidence explicitly do so.
