# Epigenetic-Mediated-Interface-Cradle (EMIC)
## Background
Historically, attempts at directly interfacing machine architecture with human physiology have been made, albeit with limited success. Traditional methods often involved brute-force matching operations, requiring significant time and effort from the human component to learn the interface and make the cybernetics work. Robotic arms, exoskeletons, and similar devices, while promising in theory, provided minimal benefits and even posed disadvantages to users who hadn't optimized their connection through training and time.
## Development of EMIC
Recognizing the limitations of existing approaches, creators sought to incorporate electronics into personal experiences in a way that would truly enhance performance. They identified the machine-human interface as the key limiting factor, realizing that machines were designed to be operated by human sensory elements. The concept of bypassing traditional senses to communicate directly with the brain led to the development of the Epigenetic-Mediated-Interface-Cradle (EMIC).
## Components of EMIC
1. **HUD (Heads-Up Display):** A modified nictating membrane serves as the HUD, providing an augmented interface for reality. Each user's HUD is unique, driven by idiosyncratic neurological intuition. Unlike conventional machine HUDs, EMIC HUDs offer highly personalized displays tailored to individual users' interpretations.
2. **Milestone Store:** This component records the EMIC operator's consciousness, accumulating sensory records and neural-contextual modifications. Users can update milestones at their discretion, creating a functional template accessible across networks. The Milestone Store enables the anticipation of user preferences and the alteration of inputs to correspond with their desires.
3. **Interpretive Buffer:** Working in tandem with the Milestone Store, the Interpretive Buffer creates the Avatar-a cybernetic meta-organ of the EMIC. The Avatar serves as the user's liminal identity in the communications network, filtering out hostile inputs and transforming informational inputs into sensory experiences based on EMIC bindings.
4. **Access Socket:** Serving as the connection point between the EMIC system and machines, the Access Socket is a bioelectric transformer, network switch, and firewall. It interfaces with specialized machines, often in the form of dental implants or higher-powered rigs, ensuring seamless integration while remaining discreet within the sinus cavities.
## Implementation and Implications
The implementation of EMIC relies on specialized machines, including power supplies, antennas, and computers, to manage its operations. Due to its epigenetic nature, EMIC is a heritable trait, with notable strains offering unique advantages. Efforts to breed individuals with superior or unique EMICs are underway, highlighting the potential for significant advancements in human augmentation and interaction with technology.
