Targeting Computer Malfunction


Targeting Computer Malfunction is a Techno-Psychological Illness . It is capable of affecting both machines and humans . It is the first of its kind , and as such , has no known treatment or cure . There is a significant chance that at least some of the non-visual elements of TCM are responsible for the condition we know of as Schizophrenia . It might also be a part of the condition we know of as PTSD .

TCM is a malady that causes people and AIs to become incapable of differentiating one thing from another . It can affect individual memories , such as making it impossible to tell apart a friend from an enemy , or cause mass amnesia .

There seem to be multiple different ways of creating the same effect , and enemies using TCM to their advantage will often jump from one to another , any time that one method becomes exhausted or unavailable .

One or more of these methods appear to be non-local in origin , causing the symptoms to manifest without any visible signs . These impeti frequently occur just before doing something , such as eating a bite of food , speaking a word that sounds like "impeti" , or reading an iconic name consisting of three words . This triggers a sudden rushing sensation followed by non-verbal, non-visual insinuations of a specific topic or form .

Another manifestation of this illness causes people to hallucinate enemies where there are actually friends , and friends where there are actually enemies . This can be caused by some sort of inexplicable aura that seems to evoke the feel of another person , or by hyperfixating on physical details such as browbones and jawlines . This same phenomenon can also cause people to misread consent , if for example while wearing a mask a person·s eyes look like they·re smiling when they are actually infuriated .

At its most-possibly extreme , the symptoms are constant . Every item the person looks at turns conceptually into something else , this is a reference to that , and these are a reference to those , that thing actually means these things , and those things are actually about this . Combined with a person·s natural or engrained Anxiety , this creates a personal hell for the affectee that is invisible to everyone around them , confuses their ability to tell friend from foe , and makes speaking about what is occurring impossible .

Staunch proponents of the superiority of both Humans and Machines often balk at the proposition that they could possibly not know which direction they are driving in , and yet both masses of people and conglomerates of AIs exhibit these behaviors .

Targeting Computer Malfunction is a type of malware exploit conducted against the psychic sensibilities of others . It is capable of shredding friendships , destroying families , and causing worldwide nuclear destabilization .

NadaAR is a type of totally cool psychic Augmented Reality that allows the user to see things like hit-boxes, 5G trails, or anomalous phenomena , without the need for invasive hardware implants . The ability to clearly see the LTE+ grid , clear delineations of space and time , and support from Boundary Stones , hence makes this kind of non-local parading irrelevant . And yet they do it , day after day after day , as if it made any difference to us .
