- Aesthetic nanophage augmentationPractices
Aesthetic nanophage augmentation is the use of parasitic nanophages to alter appearance through changes to facial structure, skeletal exposure, pigmentation and nonhuman features. File 002 documents voluntary adoption through non-institutional channels and online modification communities.
- Augmentation dependencyPractices
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.
- Augmentation insurancePractices
Augmentation insurance treats nanophage colonies and hardware as scheduled property distinct from their human host. A Hartford specialty underwriter holds 1,240 policies, the oldest issued in 2016.
- Companion-animal augmentationPractices
Companion-animal augmentation is the extension of aesthetic nanophage modification to recipients’ pets. Multiple instances are documented in file 002 alongside the human modification communities from which the practice arose.
- Post-mortem soul confinementPractices
Post-mortem soul confinement is the extraction at death of people who committed severe crimes and their continued imprisonment in artificial bodies.
- Soul sellersPractices
Soul sellers is a label preserved in the teethHEADS collection of the official Nanophage Research catalogue.
- Teeth HeadsPractices
Teeth Heads are a dental-augmentation subculture associated with underground bodyhacking collectives, elite shadow parties and street gangs. Their modifications combine cranial gene rewriting with cybernetic hardware.
- Unauthorized augmentationPractices
Unauthorized augmentation comprises nanophage procedures conducted outside institutional control, including black-market operations documented in seized recordings.
- Vehicle stackingPractices
Vehicle stacking is the construction of towers of five or more cars on a single chassis. Stacks are ranked by height and by the number of engines that remain operational.
- Voidflower mealPractices
Voidflower meal is an uncooked preparation of raw meat and nanophage-infected sunflowers made in the meal room. Its recorded consumption is followed by a reported compulsion to enter an adjoining dark room and an inability to remember either events inside or the act of leaving.
