(BPCI-R)
– a dual-component bio-optic cellular interface + relay
︎ Transforms your living tissues and natural environment into a streamlined, intelligent, decentralised communication relay. Empowered by optics and safeguarded by evolutionary complexity, it is designed to deliver multi-sensory communication across non/augmented humans and other species with a unique focus on neurocybersecurity.
interface
︎ ︎Unlike brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), BPCI employs a reverse mechanism: it bypasses direct neural data reading as the central command, instead forming a distributed biological network that relays information to corresponding sensory cells for the brain to naturally decode.
︎ 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, leveraging the fascial network as a systemic relay conduit, where collagen fibres serve as the primary waveguide and intrinsic mechanosensory stimuli act as piezoelectric amplifiers for enhanced signal propagation.

relay
︎ Beyond 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 facilitates novel modalities of human-computer-biological interaction, enabling direct biological interfacing while preserving the velocity and bandwidth of photonic links for extended-range hops. Consequently, BPCI-R's relay component functions concurrently as a network topology, a bio-hybrid protocol stack, and a distributed biocomputing architecture.
