What this preserves

Brain preservation and cryopreservation service.

Public dimension scores

We show only high-confidence dimensions here. Lower-confidence machine calls stay internal until the evidence is good enough. That keeps hallucinations minimized.

6 dimensions withheld by the public confidence gate.

Intentionality

9.0/ 10

Human preservation is the point, not a side effect. The company is described as a brain preservation and cryopreservation service, and Sparks is presented as discussing OBP's work on chemical brain preservation.

Confidence: high

Coverage breadth

2.0/ 10

Coverage is narrow. The facet map supports brain tissue and brain structure; it does not support genome, memories, personality, likeness, voice, social graph, values, genealogy, or behavior.

Confidence: high

Facet coverage

Body

Covered

Physical body or tissue substrate preservation.

Fidelity4.0 / 10

OBP offers preservation of the brain itself, which is physical tissue substrate preservation. The evidence supports brain preservation, not broader whole-body preservation.

Brain / connectome

Covered

Brain structure, connectome, or neural substrate preservation.

Fidelity7.0 / 10

This is the clearest covered facet. The evidence repeatedly points to preserving the brain and its structure, including chemical or aldehyde-based brain preservation aimed at preserving brain structure.

Genome

Not shown

Genetic blueprint preservation.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence says OBP preserves genetic material as a distinct product or service. The material described is the brain and brain structure.

Memories

Not shown

Autobiographical memories and life stories.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

The evidence does not show a stated service for autobiographical memory preservation. It explicitly leaves open whether the target is memory, identity, connectome, or something else.

Personality

Not shown

Stable traits, conversational style, preferences, and temperament.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence says OBP captures or preserves temperament, preferences, conversational style, or other personality features as such.

Social graph

Not shown

Relationships, affiliations, and interaction history.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence describes preservation of relationships, affiliations, contact networks, or interaction history.

Likeness

Not shown

Face, image, video, avatar, or visual representation.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence describes preserving face, image, video, avatar, or any visual representation of the person.

Voice

Not shown

Voice recordings or voice model representation.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence describes voice recording, voice cloning, or voice model preservation.

Values / beliefs

Not shown

Stated values, beliefs, commitments, and opinions.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence describes capturing a person's stated beliefs, commitments, opinions, or value system.

Genealogy

Not shown

Lineage, ancestry, family records, and inherited identity.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence describes ancestry, lineage, family records, or inherited identity preservation.

Behavioral preferences

Not shown

Choices, habits, tastes, and behavior patterns.

Fidelity0.0 / 10

No evidence describes preserving habits, tastes, choices, or behavioral pattern data.

Structured evidence

No structured public evidence has been extracted yet.
