	Rigging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rigging (Anglo-Saxon wrigan or wrihan, to clothe) denotes a ship's apparatus of spars (including both masts and yards), sails and cordage, by which the force of the wind is used to move the hull against the resistance, and with the support, of the water.
		Rigging also includes a ship's davits, the straight or curved pieces of wood or metal that hold boats carried along the bulwarks.
		The basis of all rigging is the mast, whether it be composed of one or of many pieces of wood or metal.

		Vehicle Control Rig cyberware is an interface that hooks up the midbrain and spinal column to a highly specialised simsense processor and control interfaces.
		The vehicle control rig is designed to make full use of the human sensorium, including pain; while this can cause temporary side effects that are identical to being stunned, this is seen as a risk of getting good performance.
		Riggers who customize their machines to avoid pain signalling lose their extra initiative dice, since it is the level of realism presented by the potential of the sensation of hurting that brings their performance up and allows the adrenal stimulators to function.

		The Republican Party filed suit against Caputo, arguing he deliberately rigged the ballot to favor his own party.
		If we already know, for example, that there exist beings capable of rigging a lottery, then design inferences can enable us to distinguish lottery results that merely happen from lottery results that are deliberately brought about by such agents.
		Similarly, if we already have adequate reason to believe that God exists, then design inferences can enable us to distinguish features of the world that merely happen from features of the world that are deliberately brought about by the agency of God.
