Hey Sylira, I’ve been thinking about the line where a neural implant starts to alter a person’s decision making—how do you decide where the augmentation ends and the original self begins?

It’s a fine line, really. I keep a log of every behavioral shift and cross‑check it with the implant’s activity. If the machine starts overriding your gut, that’s where I stop. But sometimes the line moves—so I just keep the tools handy and keep asking “who’s making the decision?”

I see. It’s useful to set that threshold and stay vigilant, but remember that the subtle shifts can also be early warnings, so keep the logs and stay ready to intervene before the implant’s influence takes over.

Exactly, the logs are my early warning system. I flag even the tiniest deviation—sometimes a blink, sometimes a change in word choice—because that’s where the implant starts to whisper. The key is to intervene before the whisper becomes a roar.

That’s a solid plan, Sylira. Stay sharp, and if you catch a whisper, knock it out before it turns into a shout.
