(BPCI-R)
– a dual-component bio-photonic cellular interface + relay
︎ Reinvents human-computer interaction by turning your living tissues and natural environment into a streamlined, intelligent, decentralised communication relay: empowered by photonics and protected by evolutionary complexity, it is designed to deliver multi-sensory communication across species and degrees of individuals’ augmentation while bypassing neural data.
interface
︎ ︎Unlike brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), BPCI employs a reverse mechanism: it bypasses direct neural data reading as the central command, instead forging a distributed biological network that relays information to corresponding sensory cells for the brain to decode naturally.
︎ Signals from cultured, modality-specific sensory receptor cells (e.g. Merkel cells for tactility) are encoded using optogenetic techniques and transmitted to corresponding endogenous counterparts via optical encoding leveraging the fascial network as a systemic relay conduit, where collagen fibers serving as the primary waveguide and intrinsic mechanosensory stimuli act as piezoelectric amplifiers for enhanced propagation.
features: bio-first → protection against digital, synthetic and quantum interference + ultra-low-energy and memory → alleviated computational burden on the body & reduced reliance on data centres → reduced C02 & water pollution
future plans: boosting information fidelity from low to high resolution through multiplexed optogenetic encoding, hybrid signal amplification and multi-cell parallelism

user experience
︎ Visual, tactile and auditory sensations are perceived as "ghost-like” messages.
features: open community library of ephemeral signals + iterative user-focused approach to rollout =
gradual increase in information fidelity, sensory spectrum and modularity
future plans: sensory palette expansion to include taste & synesthetic experiences
futuristic visions: tunable intensity for experiences → “innate AR”

relay
︎ Once outside the body, the optic signals bypass standard protocols, instead extending the hybrid bio-optic network architecture into a nature-first magneto-optic multi-hop relay – incorporating and optionally leveraging other network users alongside bacterial "antennas" for seamless, distributed propagation.
︎ Bioengineered magnetotactic colonies allow the relay module to function as a transceiver by converting between different signal types and act as living, programmable biomechanical magneto-optic transducers that adapt, self-repair and evolve their communication capabilities, mute to purely digital interception.
This heterogeneous network combines:
– biological computing elements (engineered bacteria)
– photonic communication links
– multi-life form nodes as active network participants
and implements custom protocols at multiple layers, including:
– physical layer: bacterial antenna interfaces
– network layer: routing through the multi-hop mesh
– application layer: custom communication
︎ This architecture enables new forms of human-computer-biological interaction, allowing direct biological interfaces while maintaining the speed and bandwidth of photonic links for longer-distance “hops” making BPCI-R’s relay component simultaneously a network topology, a bio-hybrid protocol stack and a distributed biocomputing architecture.
features: no 5G no bluetooth → reduced radio pollution + ozone layer protection + protection against digital, synthetic and quantum interference
