Semantically Reasonable Name for Brain Implant Class?

[enuddleyarbl]

This is a bit silly, but I'm trying to come up with a semantically reasonable name for a class that formats brain implant communication. Right now, I'm just re-using a "status" class that I use for displaying computer information on a screen. But, I thought it's probably time to come up with a more semantically correct name.

• Neal Asher uses "augs" in his "Polity" series. But, that's a bit vague.
• William Gibson uses "cybernetic implants." But, it's too long.
• I think Iain Banks uses "neural lace." Still too long.
• James Alan Gardner uses "link-seed" in "Vigilant." But, that's semantically null.
• I think Martha Wells uses "augments" in her "Murderbot" series. But, see above.
• I think Peter F. Hamilton uses "implants" in his "Night's Dawn" series. Shorter than "cybernetic implants," but it could be referring to teeth .
• EDIT: And, how could I have forgotten my favorite: John Scalzi's "BrainPal" in "Old Man's War?"

After that, my brain runs dry. Any suggestions?

I'd love to use class="BrainPal". But, I wonder if there might be legal ramifications. As Colonel "Bat" Guano said in "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb:"

"You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company Colonial Genetics Scalzi Enterprises."

Hamilton also used OCtattoos (organic circuitry) in his Commonwealth books. It allowed them to communicate with the Unisphere. They also ran personal assistants known as e-butlers or u-shadows.

Good luck!

lol. That’s funny!!

You obviously can make up any class name - there’s no semantics involved in a class name, just the tag. I don’t think there are any issues with copyright either… you aren’t really supposed to be able to copyright a language. The only thing I’m familiar with is people making a trademark (TM)… and it’s up to them to enforce it…. I would be surprised if anyone actually opened up your book to see what class names you use!!

You could use a generic <em> to emphasize the word/phrase, or even add a class to that if you wish:
<em class="brainism">
<p class="brainism"> for the whole paragraph
<div class="brainism"> for a whole section

CSS:
.brainism {color:grey-matter; font-familysiwave } /*or whatever you want*/

While typing it up you could use a simple "BI" and then find/replace at the end to whatever class name you come up with.

I guess I'll go with the brainpal thing. It's short enough and memorable enough. It does carry a lot of a more amusing connotation than I'd want (both from the name and from remembering the books). But, we'll see. I don't do much with the formatting. It'll look like:

p.brainpal {
  /* Brainpal styling for single line brain implant lines */
  display: block;
  font-size: small;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-left: 2em;
  margin-right: 2em;
  padding: 1em;
  text-align: left;
  text-indent: 0;
}

I'll probably have to finagle some minor changes for multi-line <div> blocks and sub-line <span> segments.
