relay

︎once outside the body, optic signals don’t go to either of the standard protocols but extend the hybrid bio-optic network architecture into a nature-first magneto-optic multi-hop relay by incorporating and optionally leveraging other network users and bacterial “antennas”:

features: no 5G no bluetooth → reduced radio pollution + ozone layer protection + digital security & privacy
future visions: substrate-agnostic users

(

bioengineered magnetotactic colonies allow the relay module to function as a transceiver by converting between different signal types, act as living, programmable biomechanical magneto-optic transducers that adapt, self-repair and evolve their communication capabilities, mute to purely digital interception.

its complete heterogeneous network combines:
– biological computing elements (engineered bacteria)
– photonic communication links
– multi-life form nodes as active network participants

and implementing 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 – simultaneously a network topology, a bio-hybrid protocol stack and a distributed computing architecture.
