these neural implants give us an interface that's completely operated by electrical signals from our brains in a way that's unbelievably sophisticated - to the extent that it mimics optic nerve input
aka, we can see the overlay, despite the fact that there's been no tampering with our actual retina
it wouldn't be a massive leap to assume that the simulation is a product of cranking this concept up to eleven. instead of you thinking and that being the input to the mesh, it's the mesh thinking and it's the input to your brain
not just stimulating the part of your mind that it tricks into "seeing" anymore, but also smell, taste, touch, everything. whole sensory recreations happening simultaneously, obviously all networked together to make it a joint experience
it would also have to be precise enough to NOT stimulate the pieces of the cerebrum that control movement - or, alternatively, it may be forcing your mind to emit the paralytic chemical your body takes on during sleep to keep you from acting out your dreams
so like the short version is it zaps your brain and uploads those brain zaps to the cloud so that your zaps influence other people's zaps too
what I can't really figure out is the BODY part of this equation I can sort of conceptualize the mental manipulation, but I can't understand how in the hell you guys are being kept in a biological stasis with no calories, no water, nothing your bodies should be shutting the fuck down
