Well, for CNC you'd likely want some way to program and upload looping movement patterns to an off-the-shelf controller, for CNC you'd want devices to negotiate and establish a safeword when they connect to the network, and for C&C you could patch OpenRA to call the API at appropriate (?) times. That's why I think a 15th competing standard is needed here.

CNC is (ideally, without roofie roulette and a ton of social pressure to perform involved) consensual, just simulating non-consent, and there are already some interesting API standards out there for relevant haptic devices...

Is there an open-source standard for that yet?

The maize isn't high-fructose; corn syrup is entirely an industrial product, made by chemically digesting corn starch. If the yield numbers worked out differently, we could all be eating high fructose wheat syrup or potato syrup, but maize happened to fit into our extractive systems the best, a sad fate for a beautiful grain.

So, snake oil but for text.
