Second Implant Lyrics

The next device will be
Connected to the nerve fibers
(K+1)-Out-Of-(2K+1)
In my left arm,
Positioned about halfway
Between my elbow and shoulder.
It doesn't matter
Which arm carries the implant.
Most of the nerves in this part of the body
l { J : C b = AUTH(S b; A b; B b;)} l.
Are connected to the hand,
And send and receive
The electronic impulses
That control dexterity,
Feeling, even emotions.
A lot of these signals
Are travelling here at any given time:
This nerve center carries
More information
Than any other part of the anatomy,
Aside from the spine and the head.
Moreover, very few of the nerves
Branch off to muscles
And other parts of the upper arm -
It's like a freeway
With only a few on- and off- ramps,
Providing a cleaner pathway
To the nervous system
While we ultimately may need
To place implants
Nearer to the brain
- Into the spinal cord or onto the optic nerve,
Where there is a more powerful setup
For transmitting and receiving
Specific complex sensory signals -
The arm is an ideal half way point.
