I’d like to disable the parsec subsystem on macOS Ventura.
- I’ve checked other answers such as What is parsecd? and shut down Siri and Location Services completely.
- I’ve checked the Open Files and Ports section from Activity Monitor corresponding to both these processes. The screenshots possibly provide some clues which I am unable to parse accurately and require help to know the root program so that I can shut it permanently.
I’m hoping for a workaround or method to disable the CoreParsec.framework located at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreParsec.framework
Logs and corresponding images from Open Files and Ports section are reproduced below:

OS version and device information – I’m using Ventura 13.7.8 on a 16 inch, 2021, MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip.
Can these processes be stopped or better prevented from starting each time the system runs?
