Psync System

## Psync Machine

The **Psync System** is a program featured in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES*, *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initative* and the Lemniscate YouTube series.

Powered by the Wadjet System and created by the ABIS engineer Pewter, it allows a Psyncer to delve into a subject's Somnium world. The system powers the **Psync Machine**, which allows two people to physically interface with it. The members of ABIS use the Psync Machine to find evidence and testimony from suspects or witnesses that will not or cannot cooperate with the police.

## Types of Psyncing

### Regular Psync

The standard version of Psyncing, and the main mechanic of the series. Using the Psync Machine, the Psyncer delves into the subject's consciousness and experiences their subconscious thoughts, rendered as a dream-like state known as Somnium. In the case of AI-Ball's, part of their "self" is also psynced alongside the Psyncer's consciousness, and it is the AI-Ball that serves as the avatar while inside the Somnium world.

### Unlimited Psync

Unlimited Psync is a non-canonical gameplay style introduced in *nirvanA Initiative*. Unlimited Psync removes the six minute time limit and the usage of time and TIMIEs altogether, allowing the player to explore the Somnium for as long as they wish. The collectable eyeballs can still be obtained while in this mode, making it the preferred way to collect them all. This version of Psync is only available after a Somnium has been cleared once in the normal manner.

### Reverse Psync

Reverse Psync is a concept introduced in *nirvanA Initiative*. While normally the Psyncer's consciousness flows into the subject's brain, a Reverse Psync will flip the current and cause the subject's consciousness to flow into the Psyncer instead. As this process happens while the subject is unconscious, it's implied that it's the subject's subconscious, or even the collective unconsciousness, that triggers the Reverse Psync.

### Wink Psync

Wink Psync is a concept introduced in *nirvanA Initiative*. Using a strong magnetic wave, the Psyncer is able to temporarily lull the subject into a dream-like state, allowing them to see inside the subject's dream for six seconds. This is the only version of Psync that does not require the Psync Machine to use.

## Trivia

* When *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES* was first revealed in 2017, it went under the codename "PROJECT:psync". This was most likely a reference to the Psync System featured as a main mechanic in the game.
* Kotaro Uchikoshi is unsure if its possible for a human to Psync with an animal, and by extension what would happen if the two remain for longer than 6 minutes.
