“The MER isn’t a feature. It’s a condition of access. If you want to think freely in this system, you need permission first—and MER is how we decide what that freedom looks like.”
— Aeris Lanthe, Metacortex Compliance Architect, Memory Systems Division (Logged: ORACLE)
The MER is a signal interface layer for any synaptic anchor. It does not dictate behavior. It defines what signals are valid, how they're interpreted, and who gets to listen.
The Anchor’s API must provide:
Neural Interfacing
Reads the user's internal state (neural activity, memory recall, emotional vectors) and writes commands back when needed (overlays, buffering, recursion gates).
“What is the user thinking, feeling, or doing—and how do we stabilize or interpret that?”
Mnemoscape Access Layer
Routes authenticated requests between the user and the Mnemoscape's structured zones—AR overlays, constructs, and active operators.
“What does the system want the user to see, and how much does the user get to push back?”
Environmental Signal Parsing
Allows recognition and basic interpretation of nearby AR layers, constructs in the Mnemoscape, and publicly-transmitted personas.
“What’s around me, who’s broadcasting, and what should I trust?”
