miniature screen flashed, in three languages, the registration information and pod domain.
After a comfortable pause, the main door clicked and opened. Walking out into the ninth
floor array, 0_dai stopped for a brief moment. There was complete silence, intermittently
broken by the faintest electronic sounds - something between a distant computer game and
muffled speech software. The long corridor was lined on both sides by rows of pods, half of
them unoccupied. It was still early, however, and some of them would soon be reserved, if
they were not already. The corridor was dimly lit from above, and accompanied by pin-
lights along the floor, reminiscent of the emergency lights inside airplanes. The floor itself
was made of an unrecognizable dark grey material, but resembled smooth, reinforced

Pausing for a while – almost meditating – on a particular curved surface on the pod’s left-

chairs, mobile phones, subway stations, and people. There was a sudden urge to crack
open the pod’s wall (would it crack? or would it simply change shape?), not out of some
urge to escape, but to peer inside the inside of the pod. Silent and preoccupied, luh+ leaned
back against the side wall, one bare foot up on the ledge encasing the network interface.
Just below the right side of luh+’s ribcage there was a soft, radiating blemish just beneath
the skin, resembling a blood clot. It nearly matched the marks on the sides of luh+’s
temples, were it not for the slight difference in size. Glancing at the time on the screen, the

This new curve may intersect itself any number of times. In general,
however, it will statistically partition the planar region in two, resulting in
the appearance of two, distinct recollections. Let us consider the model (Eq.

Perhaps the most intriguing possibilities for treating MIML-related
disorders lie in attempts to manufacture new biomaterials and tissues from
scratch. For days on end, I remained sitting in the library or in another,
anonymous room, accompanied by your silent, warm shadow. I was aware
that there was an unease in the air, and that my state of mindless suspension
could not go on forever. The first led us to the rudiments of a theory of
informational echolalia, the latter to a certain possible understanding of
cognitively-displaced fibrillation. Obviously it was up to me to break the
stalemate, but I resisted the very idea of any kind of change: I was incapable
of making the most trivial decision. "Histological and Mechanical
Charcterization of an Experimental Model Joint Replacement during
Supramaximal Isokinetic Muscle Contraction." As a diagnostic tool, routers
such as the ChemArray suite are, for their part, helpful in understanding
how biochemical pathways are transmitted throughout the human body:
since regular meshes dissipate their energy too rapidly to be of any
metabolic use, coherent, patterned pulses that maintain their dispersal could,
in effect, explain how energy produced in one part of the body fuels
metabolic processes in another, distant part. The idea is to take individual
cells from a tissue and seed them in a fine mesh of soluble material, then
incubate them until they multiply and connect up. Several systematic
programs of instruction, known as koros, exist for studying the corporeal
impact of MIML, organizing the information it presents and correlating it
with simulated in vivo models. “But hurts just like anything else.” The
resulting tissue is implanted in the body where it establishes connections
ITEM#814M974. As the intention of the pod is to accommodate any guest, there are a
number of features and services which each provides, though these often vary, depending on
the bandwidth regulation in a given area of the city. The earliest pod domains contained
the standard video monitor, Internet connection, MiniDV, a mini bar, and a simple, off-
white futon with clean sheets and blankets. In addition to this, current pods also contain a
rate-scaled set of services which make available the latest in high-tech entertainment,
gaming, and communications services. These can range from network access (including
Internet2x for built-in computers, or wireless services for wearable devices), to popular
social networks such as MediaMeet. Each pod is also supplied with all the necessary
hardware, software, and extensibles for accessing any of these services. Since most pod
domain buildings are unstaffed, individuals interested in visiting pods must purchase
session hours online. At that time the proper fees, contact information, and session ID
numbers are downloaded onto a credit card or universal credit chip. The data on this card
provides the customer with access to the pod domain building itself, as well as the floor on
which the assigned pod is located. Most buildings contain washrooms and a main-floor
reception or lounge area that is open to all customers. Selected pod domain buildings, such
as those in Seoul or Metro Bohol, also contain floors with restaurants, special interest
nightclubs, shopping corridors, and health care facilities.

Similarly, the onset of rhythmic behavior in a biochemical reaction is
identical to many other processes in which equilibrium systems suddenly
begin to oscillate, and identity, when you had one, was constructed of that
most modern of ectoplasms: electrons and photons that flitted silently
across a cloud elongated by trepid stellar jewels. An examination of the
already-existing worlds produced by MIML-like symptoms suggests a
negative answer to this question. Consider the technique called "cognitive
distancing" or "level of oblique detail," which for years has been used in
medical simulations and is now being adapted to more sophisticated
biochemical models as well as traditional BmTP environments: "These
recollections are like orifices that multiply over our two bodies causing my
skin and your skin to undulate and burst alike." The idea is to render the
models more crudely when the MIML patient is moving through their
specific mnemonic space; when the patient stops, detail gradually fills in.

Study Design
Several types of derived human stem cells were isolated and cultured in
separate laboratories, though using identical methodological protocols. In
a control set , human embryonic stem cells were cultured with engineered
growth factors specific to different lines of differentiation. It has been
shown that such stem cells, when placed in the proper environment, will
continue along separate line of differentiation.17,18 Bone, cartilage,
epidermal layers, as well as a functional bladder, kidney, liver, and
dendritic neurons have been produced de novo in this way.19-22 It has
been suggested that this process closely follows the steps of cellular
differentiation in the embryo immediately following the 100-cell
blastocyst stage.23
A second control set consisted of similarly prepared stem cells.
This set different from control set #1 only by the choice of growth
medium in which the cells were placed. Research in stem cell
engineering shows that the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells
contain a limited range of differentiation.24 Greater constraints have been
found with multipotent adult derived stem cells. Such stem cell types
have been shown to have defined ranges of differentiation.25 Neurons,
erythrocytes, and chondrocytes have been generated in this way from
adult neural stem cells.26 Similarly, chondrocytes, epidermal cells, and
hematocytes have been generated from adult stem cells derived from the
liver.27 Control set #2 was intended to reproduce these and other like
experiments. The goal of this was twofold: (i) to establish through
laboratory methodology the exact capacities of pluripotent vs.
multipotent stem cells; (ii) to follow control set #1 with another control
set with greater range of cytological development. For control set #2
adult stem cells were derived from the brain, bone, blood, and in selected
cases, from the liver, kidney, and intestine. These latter stem cells derived
from simple organs were established using non-human mammalian
(rabbit and mouse) cells.
The experimental set consisted of an array of twenty-nine stem
cells, plus a local control culture from control set #1. The stem cells used
for the experimental set included 10 human embryonic stem cells
(hESC), 10 human adult stem cells (hASC), and 9 embryoid derived cells
(EBD). Recall that control set #1 contained cells placed in standard
growth medium, maintaining the homeostatic equivalent of their
Experimental Results
The results from the three stem cell sets proved to be highly predictable
in terms of stem cell differentiation in localized tissue areas. As expected,
mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cell groups maintained their range
of differentiation into cartilage, epidermal, blood, liver, and striated
muscle cells. However, results were less predictable in large-scale
considerations of the living model systems. While both control sets and
the experimental set displayed the expected stem cell differentiation
activity, this was limited to the first phase of cellular trans-differentiation,
and did not extend to the terminal point of the actual change in cellular
structure. A systems-wide analysis of stem cell activity, incorporating
genomic, proteomic, and metabolic data – showed that aggregate cellular
trans-differentiation in one localized tissual area seemed to have a direct
relationship to other, unexpected instances of stem cell trans-
differentiation in other, related tissue areas in the model organism.
In control set #1, all stem cell activity was limited to cellular
differentiation from embryonic stem cells. While the control set systems

what it would be like to actually live in the pod domain buildings. How different would it
be, compared to the endless hours that regulars spent here? Would it feel like living in an
enclosed tower, or an underground shelter? Luh+’s tiny apartment on the southeast

the apartment, and only cozy and reassuring here? Four cheerful chimes coming in through
the IrDA needles notified luh+ that the session credit hours were up. Langorously
opening the eyes, luh+ slowly got up on one elbow, feeling bone sockets creak, the nervous
system re-calibrating itself. One by one, luh+ cleaned and replaced the IrDA needles and
their pads, placing them back in the side panel; a few hours would be needed before using
them again. Luh+ sat for a moment, gazing at the monitor. It showed a scan of a

For hours, luh+ passed the time trying to find the right relationship between certain curves
in the body, and certain curves of the pod’s interior. What made such a relationship even
thinkable was not that body and pod were mirror images of each other, and neither was it
that they were polar opposites. It was as if there were only brief and fleeting moments when
the architecture became at once expressive and empty, when the body ceased to be luh+’s
body, and the pod ceased to be pod #94468. For example, there was the sloping surface
near the rear of the left wall, which effortlessly reached out to make available the network
interface panel. If luh+ faced the back wall near the panel, and placed the back of the
upper arm and shoulder against it, it fit perfectly into the negative space created by the
pod’s surface. Though the skin, in its texture and tone, did not of course match the
porcelain-like surfaces of the pod, the common amorphousness of both structures - body
and pod - seemed to be made for each other. Though for what purpose luh+ could not

seeping in. No, thought luh+, that was not it exactly. The media itself – on the video
monitor, on the hard drives, on the networks, this was not the problem. Anywhere else it
was a distraction; here it was part of the interior's psychological texture. For example,
luh+ could not imagine being in the pod without precisely setting all the media so that a
desired ambiance was created – so that the media in effect disappeared. The frustration
arose from the fact that, isolated as the capsules were, the outside world of the inside world
of luh+ kept seeping in. But what was that exactly? There were increased stresses at
work, underpaid hours, and high-pressure deadlines to get the asked-for results, no less

As the head curator for late-twentieth century media, 0_dai never once had any problems
remembering things at work (0_dai could even recall the technical specs of each of the first

another era, 0_dai could recall exactly how each component worked, inside and out. This
time, 0_dai would only use dead media. This small consolation was always a signal, a
booster of confidence, and 0_dai would then commence to arrange and configure (or re-
configure) the various media to pod specs. Without thinking about it, 0_dai began
running routine diagnostics on each of the media components. At some point, while
handling the touch-screens, 0_dai began to focus on the working hands more than the

cognitive problems soon develop, including a heightened attention span,
difficulties with language, and an inability to think logically. These are
coupled with the growth of neurofibrillary tangles and micromutated

complementary to this known sequence is synthesized (for related

Feeling increasingly attached to the equipment – which was about to be re-applied on now-
healing skin – luh+ meditated on work. First-generation biometrics was a joke; there
was no first-gen, only scattered hospital tech used by stumbling medics, just X-rays and
urinalysis. Maybe you could call later computerized diagnostics second-gen – MRI, PET,
CT – because they shared the common technical strategy of visually slicing through the
body, and then in some cases recompositing its thickness in three dimensions. On the
futon, luh+ carefully placed the internal AFM leads, along with the external CT
scanning adhesives. When a med student has to look at a dissected cadaver, and then a
wall of MRI scans, and then say "that” (pointing to the lower intestine on the MRI scan)
“is that” (holding up lower intestine in cadaver), then you definitely have second-gen. But
the problem at work was that almost no one was willing to make a distinction between
diagnostics and biometrics – it may have made sound business sense to put them together
but that was about all. Luh+ made sure the IrDA needles and bodyLAN transformer
(made of the same ergonomic design as the pod, though black) had the right inputs from
the leads, and that each connection was producing a clean signal. Now, mused luh+,

1. Introduction
The wide appeal of BmTP systems is that they can carry with them a
certain out-of-body sensation, which, due to the BmTP hardware
configurations, remains strongly rooted in the user's physical body. The
utilization of technologies of communicating rooted in the human body
offers users a combination of distance and intimacy, an effect that has
been much studied recently in the psychotopological properties of
ubiquitous computing.
Aside from this, BmTP further developed out of research in the fields of
MEMs, or molecular-electrical-mechanical systems. Of which research in
the private sector, especially that at Verizon-Zyvex, enabled the design of
systems that effectively and reliably crossed the bit-atom barrier.
The first formal propositions for a BmTP network came up at the fourth
annual IEEE BioNet symposium, where experts from the fields of
telecommunications networking, bioinformatics/computational biology,
chemical engineering, and clinical neuroscience spoke at a series of
roundtable sessions about the next-generation of biological
communications platforms. One report issued by the group included a
breakdown of a hypothetical system (based on the existing technologies
in use at the time of the meeting). The table below provides a summary:
A-life software, being less pragmatic and more exploratory than biochip
Once networks of the same class of components can be studied, the next
– and most interesting – level is to integrate the integrations. That is, to
network the networks of homogeneous systems. This is the primary
interest in the BmTP project: developing dynamic networks of living
systems which cross material-informatic platforms and data types,
integrating wet and dry biological data.
As indicated in the table above, each system has a particular data type
associated with it; this data can be theoretically translated into
digital/binary form and then transmitted to another system. There are:
• Biochip electrical properties [ O = +/- ]
• A-life grid states [ = full/empty ]
• Database sequence data [ ∆ = A/T; C/G ]
The core of the protocols are here distributed among three types of
modules for handling the biological information:
• Database Access Module, that sets the cycle, establishes
connection to the database, sends queries for data, and retrieves
data.
• Data Conversion Module, that converts biological data such as
DNA, RNA, amino acid sequence, or interactome pathway data to
convertible binary format, and that then, selects choice of data
type implementation.
• Data Implementation Module, that maps CA grids (if applicable),
runs sub-system, and sends syn/ack signal to Database Access
Module for coupling of sequences that follow.
The central data reservoir – in this case the GenBank database - includes
• Raw sequence (base pairing properties, line row numbers,
markers)
• Matched intron/exon regions (as chromosomally-dependent
neighborhoods)
• Filtered EST, STS, and splice sites (including ‘islands’ of code
identified in the database file itself)
• Adaptive SNP (including other polymorphism, randomizing and
permutation operators)
Once the CA is able to ‘talk’ to the GenBank database, the type of data
should be functionally specific. In the past, the simplest way to do this
was to provide functional corollaries between genetic data and CA grid
states. At the time, gene expression seemed to be the best way to
approaches this, as it functions in a simple way (turning gene translation
on/off), and it can be configured in a CA-type grid (including Kauffman
N=K networks). This approach still seems to be valid, and is
implemented in many of the communications-based BmTP systems. A
brief overview of this approach will be helpful.
In the standard GenBank ‘flat file,’ accession numbers are usually broken
up into letters and numbers. These are in either the ‘1+5’ format or the
‘2+6’ format (1 letter + 5 numbers; 2 letters + 6 numbers); the latter is the
most common for current GenBank submissions. The accession number
also functions as the ‘locus’ identifier at the top of the GenBank flat file
(The letter-number scheme is a holdover from when reseachers wanted to
give abbreviations to entries, e.g. ‘SIV’ for SIV-40 virus), but since then
it has become a formality).
The locus line identifies the sequence. AF111785 is the locus and the
accession number. The sequence is 5925 base pairs (bp) long. It is a
messenger RNA sequence. It has a division code of PRI (not EST, STS,
or other ways of dividing up the genome into manageable sections), and
it was made public in September of 1999. Below the locus is the
accession number, which is the main way that the sequence is connected
to the database

This is read as: The feature CDS is a coding sequence beginning at base

In turn, this is read as: This feature, which is a partial coding sequence is

sequence encoding a product called T-cell receptor beta-chain.
Promoter: The part of a gene that contains the information to turn the
gene on or off. The process of transcription is initiated at the promoter
(def. NHGRI). In BmTP-related systems, the first few hundred
nucleotides of DNA upstream (on the 5' side) of a gene, which control
the transcription of that gene. The promoter is part of the 5' flanking
DNA, i.e. it is not transcribed into RNA, but without the promoter, the
gene is not functional. Note that the definition is a bit hazy as far as the
size of the region encompassed, but the ‘promoter’ of a gene starts with
the nucleotide immediately upstream from the cap site, and includes
binding sites for one or more transcription factors which can not work if
moved farther away from the gene. A sequence of dsDNA that regulates
the binding and activity of RNA polymerase. The core promoter includes
sequences within 40 nucleotides of a transcription start site; e.g. the
initiator, TATA box, downstream promoter element, which separately or
together direct synthesis by RNA polymerase II. Further upstream from
the initiation site is the promoter-proximal region, which contains

Then luh+ began to explore the upper walls and ceiling of the pod. They were much the
same as the floor (except without the futon). To luh+’s surprise, a section in the topmost
surface of the pod seemed to be loose. Would this open directly into the pod above?
Doubtful, since each pod was most likely buffered by the thickness of the mould, sound-
deadening material, and the innards of hardware and cables running through the entire

work itself open. After some complex maneuvering, luh+ lifted the ceiling panel out
completely and slid it aside the top of the pod. Luh+ carefully crouched under the square

As 0_dai lay down in the pod, the infrared lights flickered on, as was required when
using the IrDA needles and pads. In the hushed and corporeal pause before logging on,
0_dai lay there in the unnatural darkness, listening to the calm, meandering hum
produced by the old hard drives to the left on the futon. 0_dai rehearsed the logic of the

capacity for remembering, then perhaps it is possible to document the process of forgetting.
In short, perhaps it was possible to record oblivion. But this could only be done on the
terms of memory-loss, not memory itself; otherwise it would be nothing more than self-
surveillance. Thus, 0_dai continued, all actions concerned with understanding the loss of
memory would have to be captured by old media, in the same way that photos from the
19th century are old, partially because of the datedness of the capturing technology. And
when it still didn't make sense, 0_dai simply thought of the experiment as a way of
remembering through dead media. One’s own life would then be akin to a forensics file.

Approximately four hours after luh+ had initialized the customized pod biometrics, a
voiceprint digital message was sent through the pod domain’s ninth-level router to an
address that was both familiar and distant, and which luh+ had designated. The message
was lengthy, contained many data formats, and was titled "Neuro-phenomenological
Parameters and Affective Data for Fourth-Generation Biometrics." The message was
sent not to a university lab, and not to an academic journal, but to a residential address.

c600 key features: I went down a very long staircase which led into a long
and dark corridor at the end of which was a courtyard obscurely lit by the
ether of an agonizing night. You tapped your temple. "Chip grafts along the
optic nerves," you stated tunefully. “I have trouble seeing anything not on
scan lines.” There is nothing that my own nature teaches me more vividly
than that I have a body, and that when I feel pain there is something wrong
with the body, and that when I am hungry or thirsty the body needs food
and drink, and so on. So I should not doubt that there is some truth in this.
"Is that you there, in that cage where idle, impatient hands have scored the
white walls with interlaced initials and embellished them with studied crude,
indecent shapes?" One might say that anatomy is a philosophical category of
daydream. IV. Schedule of the Neuroses (see Schedule IV, section 25c for

All this I saw indistinctly and by much effort: for my personal condition
had been greatly undone during slumber. Out of blue gloom, a manta
materializes at dawn with a company of fusilier fish parading in circular
whisps. Two, three, four or five part parallax harmonies, discontinuous
effects, vocal doubling, thickening, pitch oscillator, and 6-part scalic,
chordal, chromatic and vocoder vocal effects. I now lay on my back, and at
full length, on a species of a low frame-work of glass. To this I was safely
bound by a long strap resembling a surcingle or a pillow. It passed in many
convolutions about my limbs and body, leaving at liberty only my head, and
as the inlet begins to fill with the rush of a rising tide and growing light,
three more mantas beat by on silent wings. Group 30 - Multi-axis
symmetric, both soft and straight-lined, open-limit signs without crossing

Localization of the LPA Receptor Gene, Gpcr26." These moments of
intoxication when we devour everything, when we go merrily towards an
uncertain abyss, making endless slow loops in a shaft of light, rising almost
to the surface in a delirium broth of ebbing tides of dried pedals, wrought-
iron, viscous inheld breaths, they wheel over, descend, and begin again. A

ITEM#608Y968. The interface panel on the right wall of the pod (facing the front)
protrudes from the wall. The plastic moulding frames a rectangular interface panel when
looking directly at it, but from other angles its sides curve outwards in a kind of sloping
movement. Sitting (on the knees) facing the interface panel, move so that the body is facing
the space of wall between the interface panel and the rear wall. Move the body closer, until
the front of the thighs, stomach, chest, and the side of the face (preferably facing to the
right, towards the front) are touching the smooth, glossy white plastic of the wall. Bring the
right arm upwards, bending at the elbow. Leading with the hand (fingers out straight and
together), slowly extend the arm over the top of the plastic mould which holds the interface

Elaborate operations were rehearsed and perfected in Cortical BmTP
environments, on software bodies with anatomical details - down to the
finest capillaries - based on the flesh-and-blood patient's tomographic scans.
“Me in my own world, the one that you knew.” Both the pornographic
pamphlets and the philosophical treatises of the Enlightenment science of
materialism postulate an extruding space where nothing matters but the
force of projectiles, and the compulsive pushing and pulling of bodies. We
put the aorta on the floor and shrugged, then groped around in the chest
cavity, with the violin in front and orange petals on the back of the lenses,
down a sunken April amnesia. The fluids circulating in the body are
controlled externally or supplied from the outside: urine empties through a
catheter into a tissue-engineered bladder under the left arm, the stomach
through a nanofiber tube in the nose into a artificial polymer container,
blood through a modified BmTP ethernet channel and into a vessel at the
base of the cortex. We left the body touching where it was, but took a step
backward in another just like it. In response, I let the hand drop to your
side. Bone: Bone-growth factors or stem cells are inserted into a porous
material cut to a specific shape, creating new support structures or limbs. A
product that produces shin-bones is in clinical trials. Companies: Creative
Biomolecules, Orquest, Prometheus Inc., Sulzer Orthopedics Biologics,

container is filled above a certain level, stored blood is supplied to the body
through a molecular cannula in the neck.” The lungs of the body are
situated standing directly behind its head and breathing for it. Amplified, the
heart of the body is now flashing and beeping at regular intervals on the
graphic waveform monitor to the left (visible only outside).
Communications: Alcatel's bacterial screen uses bioJava to deliver services
such as basic cortical telephony, RRI (Remote Relay Interaction), general
data navigation, credit transactions, remote MRI-based diagnostics, and
Motorola also plans to use such Java-based BmTP utilities to connect its
own wireless microarray networks. We finally settled on a handful of long
intestine. ATOM 18 NZ LYS 7 -29.215 -17.480 7.820 1.00 25.00 ATOM 19

Delicately climbing down from pod #93404, 0_dai stood for a second in the middle of
the long corridor. Again there was the low, rhythmic hum emanating from one of the pods,
or perhaps from all of them in the array. It brought to mind the kinds of faint yet
comforting sounds that seemed to come from inside the body while enveloped within BmTP
media. Walking towards the exit doors to the elevators, 0_dai caught sight of something
to the left. It was 0_dai. Turning to squarely face the reflection, 0_dai took the time to
inspect the pallid cheeks and darkened eyes of a face that was 0_dai’s own, as reflected in
the one-way mirror of pod #94468. In the reflection 0_dai seemed to be crying, or
levitating, or both. On the other side of the glass panel, the angular, bare feet of luh+ rose
and fell at a very slow, gradual rate. The entire pod was filled with warm, distilled water.

It all comes together in the evening - in a fantastical mix of fabrics,

undercurrents of sensuality, skin pale from irony and ennui, impeccably
unstudied print-and-no-color collision clothes - naively and cynically defined

the nanosecond streets glistened like silver against it. Then you repeat, as
exactly as possible - hesitantly, for it must be done with studied refinement -
