This collection brings together a set of Conceptual Anchors that form an interconnected central block of the CEI Framework. The documents are not intended as isolated developments, but as different branches of a common conceptual structure centered on the problem of the Transferred Original and its distinction from Copy-Simulation. The Anchors examine, from different but connected perspectives, the meaning of Transfer, the distinction between Copy and Transfer, the configuration of the Transferred Original, reconstruction, the Mirror of the Original, Extended Feedback, interactions among systems with different forms of continuity, and the definition of the wider CEI domain. The collection also examines the possible transfer of informational patterns related to consciousness — or, by extension, to other informational categories of the CEI defined as subsets within the broader CEI set — thereby completing the conceptual bridge to the preceding analysis. Within this structure, the exclusion of incompatible poles provides a complementary line of reasoning. Rather than establishing the Transferred Original through a single argument, the Framework progressively examines alternative configurations and identifies the conditions under which they become incompatible with the defined objective, substrate relation, informational continuity, and functional requirements. The resulting structure can therefore be understood as a conceptual mesh rather than a linear sequence: Transfer, informational continuity, Feedback, Mirror of the Original, exclusion of the poles, intersystemic interaction, and Domain are interconnected branches of the same central problem. Each Anchor clarifies, extends, delimits, or connects one part of this structure while remaining related to the whole. The collection therefore represents a central conceptual block of the CEI Framework: a structured network of clarifications surrounding the Transferred Original, its distinction from Copy-Simulation, and the increasingly complex relational environment in which these configurations may be considered.
