# USC Institute for Creative Technologies **Entity class:** Person **Collections:** [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Interface and Soft Sovereignty Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Interface and Soft Sovereignty Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] ## Definition **USC Institute for Creative Technologies** is represented in the supplied interface and soft-sovereignty relationship graph through the source-qualified relationships below. The entry preserves direction, predicate, evidence key, and epistemic status without treating analogy, adjacency, lexical coincidence, or shared capability as proof of ownership, funding, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control. <!-- BEGIN INTERFACE SOFT SOVEREIGNTY RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ## Relationships ### Interface and soft-sovereignty graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collections:** [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Interface and Soft Sovereignty Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Interface and Soft Sovereignty Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/The Next Interface Layer|The Next Interface Layer]] · [[articles/The Magic Kingdom and the Managed State|The Magic Kingdom and the Managed State]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **Edge 139 — `founded` → 1999** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_MAGIC`. - **Edge 140 — `funded_by` → [[wiki/U.S. Army|U.S. Army]]** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_MAGIC`. - **Edge 141 — `developed` → [[wiki/Full Spectrum Warrior|Full Spectrum Warrior]]** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_MAGIC`. - **Edge 142 — `developed` → [[wiki/Joint Fires and Effects Training System (JFETS)|Joint Fires and Effects Training System (JFETS)]]** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_MAGIC`. - **Edge 143 — `developed` → [[wiki/Battle Station 21|Battle Station 21]]** — **CORPUS_V**; evidence `CORPUS_MAGIC`. - **Edge 198 — `is` → [[wiki/U.S. Army University Affiliated Research Center|U.S. Army University Affiliated Research Center]]** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `ICT_OWT`. #### Incoming typed edges - **Edge 135 — [[wiki/General Paul J.

Explicit in corpus/ICT history; preserve workshop context. - **Edge 189 — [[wiki/One World Terrain|One World Terrain]] `originated_with` → this entry** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `ICT_OWT`. - **Edge 588 — [[wiki/Disney character performer training|Disney character performer training]] `undocumented_relationship_query` → this entry** — **UNRESOLVED — DO NOT PROMOTE**; evidence `CORPUS_MAGIC`, `CORPUS_NEXT`. Preserve as research question; do not transform into claim. #### Epistemic boundary `VERIFIED`, `VERIFIED_SECONDARY`, `CORPUS_V`, `CORPUS_I`, `CORPUS_H`, `STRONG_TECHNICAL_LINEAGE`, `STRONG_STRUCTURAL_CONVERGENCE`, `ANALYTIC`, and `UNRESOLVED` remain distinct relationship states. `[V]` is documented, `[I]` is structural inference, `[H]` is hypothesis, and `[OQ]` is an open question. No edge establishes ownership, funding, licensing, technology transfer, operational integration, intelligence activity, or institutional control unless its predicate and evidence explicitly do so. <!-- END INTERFACE SOFT SOVEREIGNTY RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 -->
