The result is basic templates used for bioware development. There are four known cellular matrices: bacterial, plasmal, floral and faunal. Most bioapps are created using floral and faunal matrices, as these are the best understood by noetic scientists. Early experiments with bacterial and plasmal matrices have been frozen for future study.Most available bioapps can be considered "macrotech." They are large, obvious objects, like guns, powered armor, vehicles or medical scanners. In general, such macrotech is non- or minimally invasive to the user's body. Macrotech is relatively easy to create and maintain.Also contained within matrix computers' organic memory banks are templates for bacterial and plasmal "microtech." Such devices are microscopic organisms - biological nanotech, if you will - that form a thin layer over the skin to enhance an electrokinetic's emissions, that perform microsurgery under a vitakinetic's guidance, or that assist in a biokinetic's alteration of cellular structure.Microtech research is hindered by concerns about the very nature of the technology. Devices of this sort generally require invasive applications, and can give rise to unforeseen side effects and problems. And once they're introduced, how can they be removed?</blockquote>
