How does the choker work, exactly? I mean, there was that one part when he first arrived at Yomikawa's where, when he turned his battery off, sound was distorted(though that was in the anime, not sure about the novels), and when he turned it back on, his calculation ability was back to normal, but not to the point where he'd have reflection. So does the choker have 3 settings: Off(shut down entirely), "Standby"(Connected to network only to supplement calculations to the point of the average human), and "Battle"(Connected with maybe up to approx. 50% of his former calculating ability)? And if so, then why does his battery only have 30 minutes in "Battle" mode? Couldn't it be at least a little bit longer or shorter, depending on how long he's in "Standby"?
