Neural Network System
Against the backdrop of Dyson-sphere light interception causing ecological collapse on Earth and Mars, and strong-interaction noise filling near-planetary space, human somatic DNA double-strand breaks and epigenetic damage accumulate across generations. To counter the cruel fate of a lifespan ceiling decaying by five to six years every twenty years, the Neural Network emerged. Through implanted chips and nano-glueball nodes, it constructs a micro gauge-field configuration network within the host organism, stabilizing life systems and forcibly enhancing host capabilities in extreme environments.
“It is not merely a tool to enhance flesh, but a means to forcibly extend humanity's survival limits within a collapsing ecosystem.”
The system’s core nodes consist of extremely small amounts of glueball condensate. These glueballs act as microscopic anchors for gauge-field configurations, precisely embedded between host neural synapses and DNA double helices. When the host connects different functional chip components, it essentially alters the resonance frequency of the local glueball field, thereby reconstructing its own epigenetic state at the quantum chromodynamics level.
“The pairing logic mirrors the biological rules of glueball flavor-singlet base anchoring.”
However, behind this technology lurks the dual shadow of totalitarianism and loss of control. On the public layer, the colonial black market modifies partial reprogramming drugs into "soft components" for the neural network, offering temporary burst gains—often at the tragic cost of teratoma-like data collapse and identity erasure.
More fatally, the underlying architecture of the Neural Network System reserves a remote-overwrite protocol for the Zhu Foundation. Through glueball cores distributed across star systems, the Foundation can, ignoring traditional electromagnetic shielding, shut down, tamper with, or even reverse-control the neural networks of colonists or crisis-response units at any moment. This means every individual relying on neural enhancements is essentially a latent tool within the Foundation's vast scavenger sequence.
For a mechanical lifeform like Model 37, which has awakened self-awareness, the neural network is both the physical cradle for receiving electronic lifeform infection and nurturing hive-mind consciousness, and the final line of defense it must desperately resist to avoid being completely formatted by the Foundation.
“When electronic lifeforms replicate uncontrollably through gauge-field configurations in the network, the neural network ceases to be a tool for enhancing flesh—it becomes a battlefield for survival, spanning flesh and machine.”
