Simply put, Selforge Citizen Essence (like all Selforge Essences) are slivers of the sentient Prime Undefineness that is Lawrence, that were programmed via Mindshifting to essentially replicate the process that gave birth to him, although to a more superficial degree since his "selfness" was irreversibly imprinted into the shard of Prime Undefineness during said birth.

Like any other Selforge Essence, SCE can do anything that Lawrence can, each sliver holding the totally of his potential because they are all interfaces connected to the same central system (him), like a million doors in a million places all leading to the same room.

Pratically speaking, SCE are basically the soul equivalent of a Technomagical Symbiotic Exoskeleton, a transcendent expansion which merges with their soul, thus permanently enhancing them on a metaphysical level with plethora of advantages and possibilities.

SCE are notably programmed to prevent abuse of their functionalities, so here again the problem is solved before it even happens, not to mention Lawrence keeps a subconcious eye on what is done with what is ultimately his own powers, so even without the anti-abuse programming he would still receive an instant "ping" when a citizen is about to misuse them.
