Functionally, the link enables the Whai to work efficiently and in harmony, breaking down the barriers and constraints between the diverse population of aliens and cyborgs. Integration with the neural link varies from person to person. The strength of one’s connection to the link operates on a spectrum and roughly corresponds with social roles and milieu they operate in and their proximity to the amplifying Tahora. When deeply connected to the Erinaa, or otherwise connected with the people around them, Tahora Whai will often [[Tahroa Whai#Oral Tradition|sing together]], as the system finds melody and rhythms to be a more effective medium than any form of spoken words.

The backbone of the Erinaa is the '''[[Vāk]]''', a technological marvel developed 347 Sector years before present during [[Timeline#Year_379_-_The_Great_Migration|The Great Migration]]. Creating a pseudo-telepathic connection, the Vāk imitates the poorly understood FTL signals of the Great Tahora. Personal Vāk interfaces with the network are usually incorporated into [[Tahora Whai Equipment#Cybernetics|cybernetic implants]] and [[Tahora Whai Equipment#Tattoos|functional tattoos]], but varies heavily from person to person depending on species, degree of integration, and personal preference.

Between two people, personal cybernetics and support Vāk communication through touch. Holding hands, hongi, and other close gestures are commonplace among Whai. Joining together, the stream-of-consciousness of thought and emotion may be isolated from others. This connection does not require expensive and complex relay facilities or computer intelligence. Alone, out in the stars, two fellow Whai can unite and communicate effortlessly with merely a touch.
