When the augmented body becomes the everyday standard
2112The deep futureDeadline · Within 1 year before the new public support criteria
Civilisational assumption
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
Assume bodily augmentation is widely used and the environments for mobility and communication have also changed on the assumption of those capacities. People who are not augmented now need support that was never needed before, and individual support and environmental change cost differently. Should public support match the raised average capacity, match the daily functioning each person wants, or go into changing the shared environment?

The situation as it stands
In the assumed society, some forms of physical augmentation are widely used, and the environments for movement and communication have also changed to take those abilities for granted. Decision deadline: within 1 year, before the new public support standard.
A synthetic future scenario set in 2112 · As augmented bodies become common, the access standard for basic daily life also rises. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions or observed facts.
- Premise 1In the assumed society, some forms of physical augmentation are widely used, and the environments for movement and communication have also changed to take those abilities for granted.
- Premise 2People without augmentation have come to need support for daily life that used to be unproblematic.
- Premise 3Support that raises an individual's ability and investment in redesigning the environment carry different costs.
Where it holdsAssumed physical augmentation, basic functioning, shared environment
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1The daily life that must remain possible without augmentation
- Unknown 2The actual cost of individual support and environmental modification
- Unknown 3The standard that distinguishes refusal of augmentation from barriers to access
Signals to decide again
- Decide what observation, responsible party, and verification channel will confirm "the daily life that must remain possible without augmentation," and re-judge when a new finding changes the tradeoffs among the options.
- Decide what observation, responsible party, and verification channel will confirm "the actual cost of individual support and environmental modification," and re-judge when a new finding changes the tradeoffs among the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Changing the shared environment created life routes convenient for augmented people as well.
The support agency effectively required new augmentation on the sole grounds of average ability.
