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. ===== See also ===== * [[technology:Net tools]] {{tag>[work-in-progress]}}
