Augmentation dependency is the progressive reliance on repeated nanophage treatment and cybernetic repair after cosmetic or functional enhancement. Early transformations are described as euphoric and addictive.[1]
Repair cycle
Accelerated tissue breakdown and rebuilding can lead to chronic necrosis when cycles are not maintained. Recipients require successive repairs, replacements and additional hardware to counter degradation caused by earlier interventions.
Identity effects
Former users report emotional distance, blunted instinct and difficulty maintaining a stable identity as their bodies change. The record describes these experiences without establishing a single neurological mechanism. The cosmetic identity systems used in Office Division C address dissociative drift in a separate institutional setting.
