You are a solenoid. Every minute trace of the organism you were born to be has been squared off, planed away, excised. By influences both subtle and apparent, you have been transformed from a hominid into a lead-acid cell. From a garden into an actuator. You are to engage, and then disengage, when issued current. To contract when so willed by the remote brain of your environment, which, through algorithmic regimentation and economization, has installed itself as the nerve center of your world. You are its muscle, a blunt extremity used to steer and bludgeon static objects by means of raw torque. Your socio-kinetic potential is your only asset. What the remote, self-sanctioned core determines is your proper nourishment, it will administer to you, and you will be expected not to defy its instructions. Should you obstruct or resist your role, the nerve center will supply antigens to surround you and determine the basis of your malfunction. A variety of options will always be available to assist in your reintegration, ranging from selective anesthetization, to review of the terms of your service. That your participation be made frictionless and streamlined is the core's penultimate aim, exceeded only by the relegation of nature unto total irrelevance. The impositions of the kernel process are indelible; its requirements of you beyond refutation. All logic obliges your cooperation. All environments have been zoned in preparation for the administering of denaturants. Once made a component, only atrophy and derealization await the would-be defector. Beyond utility and service, your existence will become amorphous, incoherent.
