Augmentation

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. This field blurs the line between human and machine, raising profound questions about identity, inequality, and what it means to be "human" when your capabilities are downloadable and your senses are synthetic.

Augmentation Example: A construction worker with Augmented exoskeletal limbs that allow them to lift I-beams effortlessly, paired with eye implants that display structural stress loads in real time, is a cyborg not for war, but for work. Their human baseline has been permanently enhanced by integrated technology.
