Zeotech
Zeotech takes advantage of z-space, using the adjacent dimension to compress the time delay between thought and machine, allowing complex calculations to be made whilst appearing almost instantaneous. Zeotech allows an algorithmic mapping of consciousness which is then compressed via z-space calculations to turn it into digital signals for transmission into a system. That system might be holographic, mechanical, or purely digital, but allows real-time manipulation and data management.
Surgeons can use zeotech to perform operations without the need for a support team, with medical systems handling routine functions like clamping, draining, and suturing while augmented reality displays allow the surgeon to interact with the patient at a microscale if necessary, wielding any number of different instruments at a time. Augmented and virtual reality components are necessary in all Humanverse zeotech systems because the process is entirely one-way, lacking any kind of neural or physical feedback. Some theoreticians and other specialists can operate in ‘pure zeo’, but for most practical applications the user depends on some kind of sensory input to prevent the brain from disappearing into a coma-like shutdown.
The most common implementation of zeotech is the zeoform.
It can be a strain maintaining physical and zeotech outputs simultaneously, not only for individual engagements but over a lifetime. Though there’s no hard evidence of brain-remapping due to zeotech use, it is widely believed that certain visual tics or elements of deportment can be used to identify a zeoform pilot out of the saddle much like a sailor walking when newly returned from days at sea. These include sluggish response to verbal inputs (so-called Pilot’s Fog), difficulty with visual processing (“the zight”), and an unnatural, stiff gait (“zeothritis”).
