It is implemented through a structured transfer flow. The operator runs a transfer preparation command to produce a self-contained, cryptographically signed bundle: the per-tenant graph snapshot, the audit ledger, the trained adapter weights, the seed taxonomy, the pack manifest, and the tenant configuration. The bundle is signed by the operator's identity key and the integrity is anchored to a public transparency log. The "freely transferable" property is more than a philosophical statement.
