Talk:Matrix Industry
From Sixth World Wiki
From the line in this article "Artificial Sensory Induction System Technology or ASIST: the combination of hardware, software, and wetware necessary for Direct Neural Interfacing to machines—allowing someone to experience realistic artificial sensations—for decking or simsense.", ASIST is only hardware/firmware. ASIST can exist and function outside of body (dosn't require wetware), and only with its internal firmware (think of how a CD drive operates without CPU intervention). While not interfaced with a warm body, it dosn't have much of a use, software and wetware are not part of the ASIST.
