The technological enhancement of the human body and mind to exceed natural biological limits. It moves beyond repair (like a pacemaker) into deliberate upgrade: neural implants for instant memory recall, augmented reality lenses overlaying data on the visual field, or prosthetic limbs stronger and more dextrous than flesh.

Their human baseline has been permanently enhanced by integrated technology.
