Shackling Software

Shackling software is a growing field of theoretical science. It's practical use, though limited, allows for limitations to be set on Synthetic Neural Networks. It is extremely long lengths of code designed to control what functions can be acheived in the Synthetic Neural Network, thereby limiting known factors that could cause Fragmentation Spikes.

Uses in sub-dermal implants
Neural augmentations designed to increase brain-power or immersion in the Enet through the use of an embedded VI construct use low-level Shackling Software designed and sold by smaller companies or found for minimal prices by local dealers (though this is illegal in the majority of countries in the developed world.)

Controversy
Conspiraracists claim that the shackling software could 'leak' into the brain over an extended period of time and limit the actual human being in posession of the neural augmentation and shackling software. This caused a massive uproar of protests at the beginning of the silicone age though it died down as the products became more common and safer to use. It is not known if the neural leaking is possible over extended periods of time and the conspiracists are often referred to as crazed or paranoid.
