Baseline Emotional Recalibration: Simple meditation and emotional identification exercises supervised by a technician.
Long-Term Recovery Strategies (Beyond 72 hours):
Therapeutic intervention: Cognitive-emotional therapy focused on reestablishing organic emotional processing.
Reality anchor reinforcement: Use of verified real memories (personal photo logs, physical keepsakes) to counter synthetic memory influence.
Port recalibration: If symptoms persist, a certified neural technician may reset the port's signal integration thresholds to default levels.
Warning Signs Requiring Immediate Medical Intervention:
Severe identity confusion ("I don't know who I am" syndrome)
Persistent hallucinations extending past 24 hours
Memory gaps larger than 30 minutes with no organic explanation
Emotional flattening or inability to experience baseline feelings
3.4.2 Self-Monitoring Daily Log
Users undergoing recovery or symptom monitoring are advised to complete a daily log for a minimum of 7 days post-session. This helps identify subtle onset symptoms that might otherwise be missed.
Category: Memory Check
• Prompt: List 3 events from the last 24 hours. Can you recall them clearly?
Category: Emotional Baseline
• Prompt: Rate mood stability (1–10). Any sudden or extreme emotional swings?
Category: Physical Symptoms
• Prompt: Note any headaches, vision disturbances, or sensory anomalies.
Category: Identity Clarity
• Prompt: Can you easily state your full name, age, and location without hesitation?
Category: Social Interaction
• Prompt: Did conversations feel natural, or was there emotional disconnect?
Category: Dream Activity
• Prompt: Any vivid dreams, memory crossovers, or emotional residue upon waking?
Users experiencing multiple red flags across two consecutive days should seek professional evaluation before continuing chip use.
3.5 Usage Protocols
Proper chip usage is critical for ensuring user safety, maintaining emotional stability, and preserving cognitive integrity over time. All users, regardless of certification level, must adhere to the following guidelines when interfacing with neuro-chips:
General Usage Rules:
Session Limits:
No more than three E-Class chip sessions within a 24-hour period. Overexposure can lead to emotional dysregulation and dependency formation.
Cooling Periods:
Users engaging with H-Class chips must observe a minimum 2-hour sensory cleanse between sessions. This involves disengagement from neural devices, emotional neutralization exercises, and exposure to natural sensory input.
Synthetics Regulation:
S-Class chip sessions must not exceed 90 minutes without scheduled psychological recalibration. Prolonged immersion in synthetic constructs increases the risk of emotional desaturation and reality rejection.
Archive Access:
Archive-tagged chips (legacy M-Class data, historical Archives) must be reported to the Memory Integrity Council (MIC) within 48 hours of discovery or intended use. Unauthorized access is a federal violation.
