I think that in the very earliest days of the OA scenario, technologies like the Differential Sail were built by hyperturings - which were just barely transapient. Every polity or megacorp might be expected to have at least one hyperturing, and perhaps a lot of them. Wormholes and reactionless drives were built by megacorps, in the earliest incarnations of OA.
The concept of multiple singularities came along slightly later, and we didn't really assign tech levels to these layers until a couple of years later. So the question of how these abandoned technologies related to toposophic levels is interesting, but irrelevant to the current concept of OA.
