| - | A **Denizen** is a digitalised person. The term is used to differentiate them from [[terminology:Puppet|Puppets]] and [[terminology:Citizen|Citizens]], and, together with latter, forms the definition of [[terminology:Netizen]]. | ||
| - | ===== Digital mind ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | A Denizen's mind is //not// an understood construct, any more than a human being's mind is a fully understood construct - it is simply faithfully translated from a biological medium to a digital medium. As such, it takes skill and caution to tamper with it, though disconnected Denizen-brain is infinitely easier to reattach than disconnected pieces of brain from a biological human would be, and back-ups make the whole thing less terrifying than surgery on neural pathways would be. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The only person capable of altering a Denizen's mind are they themselves - or anyone that they give their private key to. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Settings ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | There are a few irrevocable abilities that each Denizen has access to by design - things a server can by design not override: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * [[technology:evanescing|exiting from a Fragment, server or network, or negotiating Following]] | ||
| - | * altering one's default [[technology:avatar]] | ||
| - | * setting one's [[technology:metadata]] preference | ||
| - | * either blocking or receiving private messages one is the recipient of | ||
| - | * either blocking or receiving global messages one is the recipient of | ||
| - | * sending private messages (as long as the recipient has not blocked them) | ||
| - | * defining one's sensory input limits | ||
| - | * disconnecting from one's sensory inputs (either individually or in full) | ||
| - | * respawning on avatar death | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[:Entrapment]] is in part as scary as it is since it not only affects [[technology:web access control]] but also the supposedly irrevocable Denizen-bound privileges. | ||
