## Definition
**reference-plus-delta architecture** is represented in the supplied consciousness-mapping and transfer relationship graph through the source-qualified relationships below. The entry preserves direction, predicate, evidence key, quantitative context, and epistemic status without treating analogy, adjacency, shared physics, or technical convergence as proof of ownership, funding, program lineage, technology transfer, operational integration, or institutional control.

#### Outgoing typed edges
- **Edge 644 — `has_analogue` → [[wiki/CRAM reference-based genomic compression|CRAM reference-based genomic compression]]** — **ARTICLE_ANALYTIC**; evidence `ARTICLE_NEW`. Core architecture of the rebuilt article; treat as synthesis unless separately verified.
- **Edge 645 — `has_analogue` → [[wiki/LoRA parameter-efficient adaptation|LoRA parameter-efficient adaptation]]** — **ARTICLE_ANALYTIC**; evidence `ARTICLE_NEW`. Core architecture of the rebuilt article; treat as synthesis unless separately verified.
- **Edge 646 — `has_analogue` → [[wiki/mouse visual-cortex foundation core plus individual readouts|mouse visual-cortex foundation core plus individual readouts]]** — **ARTICLE_ANALYTIC**; evidence `ARTICLE_NEW`. Core architecture of the rebuilt article; treat as synthesis unless separately verified.
- **Edge 647 — `has_analogue` → 1,052-person generative-agent conditioning** — **ARTICLE_ANALYTIC**; evidence `ARTICLE_NEW`. Core architecture of the rebuilt article; treat as synthesis unless separately verified.
#### 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.

#### Host-infrastructure integration
This entry is expanded through the concrete host-side relationships and status-qualified edges below. No company, standard, platform, or technical precedent is assigned a consciousness-transfer purpose beyond the evidence shown.
#### Outgoing typed edges
- **HR-0012 — `is_representation_principle_for` → [[wiki/Host–Residual Architecture|Host–Residual Architecture]]** — **CORPUS ARCHITECTURE**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Core host/residual architecture from article and continuity wiki.
- **HR-0013 — `separates` → [[wiki/reusable human prior|Reusable Human Prior]]** — **CORPUS ARCHITECTURE**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Core host/residual architecture from article and continuity wiki.
- **HR-0014 — `separates` → [[wiki/person-specific residual|Person-Specific Residual]]** — **CORPUS ARCHITECTURE**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Core host/residual architecture from article and continuity wiki.
#### Incoming typed edges
- **HR-1412 — [[wiki/OpenUSD|OpenUSD]] `cross_threads` → this entry** — **HIGH VALUE CROSS THREAD**; evidence `ARTICLE`, `WIKI_ARCHIVE`. Instancing stores one canonical scene asset plus per-instance transforms/overrides.
- **HR-1576 — [[wiki/LoRA|LoRA]] `technical_convergence_with` → this entry** — **STRONG ANALYTIC CONVERGENCE**; evidence `WEB_LORA`, `ARTICLE`. Shared immutable base plus compact specialization.
#### Epistemic boundary
Verified external relationships, inherited wiki links, corpus architecture, technical precedents, cross-thread comparisons, analytic convergence, and graph candidates remain distinct. “Related” means only the typed relationship shown. A graph candidate is retained as **CANDIDATE — DO NOT PROMOTE**; similarity, shared personnel, compatibility, adjacent infrastructure, or common requirements do not establish ownership, funding, transfer, operational integration, or shared intent. Software checkpointing, adapters, world models, and confidential computing are engineering precedents or analogues, not demonstrations of human phenomenal or numerical continuity.
