"I'm guessing that you apply this meta-integrative substrate to a person's consciousness," he remarked.
"Correct, but it is not that simple. For one, the substance needs to be in direct contact, which alone requires extremely advanced biotechnology to ensure that the highly toxic esoteric matter doesn't simply kill the subject on the spot," she replied. "Then, you need to prevent undesirable matter homogenization. The substance causes biological tissue to simply homogenize into a mound of organic matter that is uniformly in all directions. Which instantly kills the subject. So you need powerful and extremely precise stasis fields to hold neurology in place and prevent the cells of your body from melting. Much of the complexity of the procedure is simply to prevent the many undesirable interactions between meta-integrative substrate and a person's brain and mind."
"…And it works? It actually homogenizes the mind and phenomenology?" Rui raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
