## Key Capabilities & Distinctions
1. **Physicality Over Willpower:** Digital app blockers fail because they can be clicked away in two keystrokes. The Nexus Ring turns discipline into a tangible, physical state transition.
2. **Instant Kernel Enforcement:** Switching magnetic totem positions commands the OS directly without cloud latency, closing distraction tabs, launching project environments, and setting system-wide DND.
3. **100% Air-Gapped Privacy:** Zero personal data, keystrokes, or screen pixels ever touch a remote server. All AI and hardware actions execute locally on-device.
