Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The MIT single-fibre computer embeds hundreds of microscale digital chips, connected by thin conductive wires, directly inside a polymer fiber that can be spun, washed, and woven like ordinary thread. Once integrated into a garment, the fiber carries out sensing, memory storage, and simple on-body neural-network computation, turning the textile itself into a distributed, wearable computing substrate.

Live readiness status

Status as of the current dateline

AI-assisted assembly · derived results

As of 2026-07-23, verified readiness is 35 (claimed 45, reported 41, gap 10) — Strong evidence strength; current signals suggest Track; not yet.

The readiness fact belongs to the canonical Readiness Verdict for Single-Fibre Computer (MIT).
