I meant "bond" in a purely emotional sense in this case. The empowering contract bestowed through Selforge Geas and its later transformation into their Selforge Soul do create a much more literal and increasingly symbiotic bond between them, but those two only happen over time alongside the deeping of the interpersonal bond.

How does it work for John ? What kind of bond(s) is it, how does it start and evolved, and what are the perks and possible counterpart/responsibility attached to them ?

I like to think of the Selforge Defense System as being limited to the external layer of his home plane's space-time, like an impenetrable/imperceptible metaphysical wall nullifying and consuming any intrusion attempt. Seeing as it is a piece of Lawrence's power/self like all Selforge Technologies, nothing can phase through on any level thus preventing even the most resourceful invaders from teleporting/portalizing their way in like they normally would. While more effective, the idea of his essence permeating the plane's internal space-time as well feels a bit too intrusive, as it would mean he's passively everywhere all the time ^ ^;

Beside, even in the impossible scenario where some overpowered invaders were to get in and wreak havoc in his home plane, his people would be completely unaffected thanks to their Selforge Soul, and the external Defense System would simply expand within for a brief moment, instantly assimilating the invaders and restoring everything else the way it was.
