Without getting into a
lot of technical jargon, this device was creating a psychotic
entangling event in the Commander's mind.
If you can imagine the
Commander's neural activity as a net, this tiny
device effectively pulled that net apart, wove it back
into a sack, and filled that sack with chaotic
nano-clusters made from his own thoughts, perhaps best represented
in our metaphor as odd hardware placed into the sack
of his mind.
Anyway, this of course
caused his very own thoughts to be turned against him; his passion
for knitting and his personal dedication to Isis, for
example, all becoming players in his inner psychotic descent.
