Un Déjà vu Me

 An A*i* reflex agent dedicated to getting away from it all.

I propose a model-based A*i* agent that is tied to wearable tech and is attuned to the "I see what you see, and hear what you hear" paradigm. Its purpose is to scan the user's environment for geospatial similarities and harmonic regularities congruent to its library of situations.

At a preset input ( a 'take me away' cue ) the agent can take over a reset of the more annoying environmental stimuli by driving some haptics more atune with a similar but novel situation. For example, while driving, a form of 'road hypnosis' arises when one light seems too much like the next. One's agent then generates a pseudo flow of stimuli that would be totally unlike what one is doing; say, the sound and distance perceptions felt while running a 100 meter low hurdle race.

Below the perceptual boundary that would shock the user out of a stupor, but rather mildly increase the user's senses of accomplishment and focus.

       As much as I like the Iron Mike solutions to modern problems, and as much as I want to encourage humane AI, I can’t see how this would work better that a connection to the battery that sensed when your attention slackens, or more simply, when your grip on the wheel or your head nods. A good stiff shock to the left calf would do wonders to focus the driver. I fear that “anything below the perceptual boundary” would be lost.

       Yes, minoradjustments. A simple example, to boot.

       Sorry, but, I'm not getting what deja vu has to do with this idea.   

       Road hypnosis is a totally different thing.
