Neural biochip
Relic
Arasaka's biochip platform for stored personality constructs and neural interaction.
Arasaka advanced technology
Engram technology
Soulkiller, Mikoshi, and Relic. Three distinct roles in one technology ecosystem.
Technology brief / 01
Representation. Archive. Interface.
An engram is a digital personality construct. Creating that representation, retaining it, and connecting it to a neural environment are different technical functions.
01 / Representation
Soulkiller
The technology associated with producing a digital personality construct.
02 / Archive
Mikoshi
The protected infrastructure in which engrams are stored and managed.
03 / Interface
Relic
The biochip that carries a construct and provides a neural connection.
Preservation is not the same as restoration.
The commercial Relic program enables interaction with a stored personality. Experimental host-transfer technology addresses a different problem: the relationship between an engram and a biological host. Arasaka's restored leadership provides the context for the next phase of that work.
Applied platforms
Research, made physical.
Engram infrastructure
Mikoshi
Protected infrastructure for the storage and management of digital personality constructs.
Inside Arasaka
Three functions. One unresolved question.
Soulkiller, Mikoshi, and Relic describe the creation, retention, and interface of a personality construct. That functional relationship is not a proof of subjective continuity. A system can retain a representation and enable recognizable interaction while leaving the status of the original person unanswered. Technical language should preserve that distinction, not conceal it.
