Artificial Abhijñā and Mechanical Body is the limb stood alone: a parametric 3D-printed linkage, mirrored into a U, with servo motors at the joints. The lattice is open where a bone would be solid.

In the Electro Asura performances this is what the dancer wears. Abhijñā, supernormal knowing, is built here as a second organ: worn, not implanted, and able to leave the body and stand on the plinth.
