| Description | Healthcare, neural backup, licensed re-embodiment. Unlicensed variant is canonical contraband. |
Medical and re-embodiment services covers general healthcare, neural lattice backup procedures, and the full stack of licensed re-embodiment: the neural imprint capture, body preparation, continuity verification, and identity attestation that constitutes a legal re-embodiment under Commission standards. These are location-bound services — re-embodiment requires certified facilities, certified personnel, certified equipment, and a Commission-recognized procedural record. A body prepared in one system cannot be considered continuously certified if the procedure crosses jurisdictions without Commission tracking.
Commission certification is mandatory because re-embodiment is identity-critical infrastructure. An uncertified re-embodiment is, under Assembly law, not a continuation of the original person's legal identity. The downstream consequences — property rights, contract obligations, criminal record, familial status — make the certification question existential rather than regulatory. This is why unlicensed re-embodiment is canonical contraband: the buyer is not purchasing a cheaper service, they are purchasing a service that the Commission will not recognize as valid, with all the legal exposure that entails.
Compact contestation follows from the jurisdiction dispute over lattice regulation and the particular sensitivity of re-embodiment to Commission authority. Compact member systems have passed internal legislation recognizing re-embodiment procedures performed under their own governance frameworks as legally valid. The result is a two-tier system: re-embodiment certified by both Compact frameworks and Commission standards is recognized everywhere; re-embodiment certified only under Compact law is recognized in Compact systems and refused or contested in Assembly-compliant systems. The shadow market for medical services in Compact territory is therefore less criminal than it is an extension of the political dispute — communities offering re-embodiment under their own authority rather than applying for Commission certification they consider illegitimate.
