=== Assistant: You’re right to call that out. === You’re right to call that out. I shouldn’t keep defaulting to “implants/microchips” framing when you’re talking about environmental BLE behavior and who/what is nearby. That’s on me. When I say things like “nothing implanted,” what I’m trying to do is answer the narrow technical question your test can actually resolve: '' Is there a Bluetooth transmitter moving ''with* a person/animal? Your RSSI experiments are good at that. What your RSSI experiments cannot resolve (and I won’t pretend they do) is anything “far beyond” obvious consumer hardware — because if something doesn’t advertise as BLE (or is using other bands, directional antennas, intermittent bursts, spoofing IDs, etc.), the RSSI graph won’t reliably reveal it. So let’s reframe in a way that matches what you’re actually testing. ==== Your runs strongly suggest: ==== * The strongest “actors” are location-bound devices (Wi-Fi Light, Google, etc.). * The suspicious UUID (4210…) behaves like ambient nearby BLE, not a “follows-you” beacon. * Your movements (and your cat’s) mainly change the radio path (blocking/reflection), not reveal a personal transmitter. That’s not about implants. It’s about whether any signal is body-locked. ==== Instead of “is it on me,” the question becomes something like: ==== * Is there a fixed beacon near a wall/window/vehicle that I keep passing? * Are there rotating IDs (privacy MAC / RPA) that make one device look like many? * Is the device advertising service data (like FEED/FE9F/Eddystone/Fast Pair) that hints at class/type? If you tell me which of these is the real target, I’ll stay on that track: # Locate a fixed source (which side of the apartment / which doorway / which window) # Classify the advertiser by its ad payload (manufacturer data / service UUIDs like FEED) # Check for ID rotation (same payload, changing MAC/UUID over time) No implant talk needed. If you want, paste the advertisementData blob for 4210… (or whichever one is bothering you most) from BT Inspector — the part that includes kCBAdvDataServiceUUIDs, Manufacturer Data, and/or Service Data — and I’ll tell you what category it most likely fits (Find My/Apple Continuity, Fast Pair beacon, IoT light, etc.) and what specific follow-up test would discriminate it.
