(The Reifier relies on our tendency to project utterly meaningful assumed truths onto (conveniently) structured, arbitrary information.)
The Reifier is a scientific electrical device. It surmises and transcribes the inner emotions of whomever wears it into convenient and knowable words.
As the wearer speaks or moves their jaw, a button is pressed. This controls The Reifier, displaying an output with each press. This output can be used to understand the wearer’s state of being. each light corresponds to a specific mood or desire. The Quick Lookup Guide (below) diagrams each light’s associated meaning.
The Reifier uses no microcontrollers. Its circuitry is purpose built, making use of simple logic ICs and other discrete components. It uses a technology called core rope memory, which is a method of data storage that is programmed through the weaving of wires in and around magnetic cores.
