Analog

The Application of Analog allows the Nanon to gain insight into the social interactions that are their immediate surroundings. At first, Analog only helps the Nanon process the myriad of social cues allowing the cyborg to blend in by subconsciously avoiding faus pas and responding with the correct mannerisms. As the Nanon masters this Application he is capable of reading a crowd and to determine if there is a danger lurking, who does and does not belong as well as what the crowd is likely to do, based its apparent social trajectory.

• Relate  

When a Nanon activates Relate they subconsciously delegate the responsibility of reflexive social behavior to Nanos who diligently monitor the behavior of those around them so as to prevent or minimize faux pas.
