Introduces a distributed network of neural ganglia throughout the body — concentrated clusters of nerve tissue in the torso, pelvis, and upper limbs that can take over basic autonomic function if the brain or spinal cord is damaged. The modification does not create consciousness outside the brain; it creates a biological backup system that maintains heartbeat, breathing, and basic motor function during neurological emergencies. If the primary spinal cord is severed, the distributed ganglia can maintain organ function and crude limb movement for 2–4 hours — enough time for emergency medical intervention. The modification is inspired by octopus distributed neural architecture, where two-thirds of neurons are in the arms rather than the central brain. Helix Biosystems positions it as the ultimate insurance against the most feared injuries in a violent city.
