The Severance Chip

Item from Severance by Dan Erickson

A microchip implanted in the brain that splits consciousness in two — the technology that makes everything possible and everything terrible.

Also known as: The Chip, Severance Implant, The Procedure

What They Know

Surgically implanted microchip that splits consciousness at a specific physical boundary (the Lumon elevator)
Invented by Harmony Cobel — credit stolen by Jame Eagan, who presented it as Eagan family technology
Creates two independent consciousnesses: 'innie' (work only) and 'outie' (life only) — each unaware of the other's experiences
Reintegration (merging both selves) is possible but potentially fatal — Petey died, Mark survived
Cobel extracted Petey's chip from his corpse at his funeral — the chips contain information even after death
