When you increase or subtract contrast in the picture styles in camera: What mechanism does the camera use to facilitate that change?

There are no mechanical changes made to the camera.
If you shoot in RAW you change these settings, including picture styles, on your pc.

Lets go simpler... the changes are facilitated with the use of light and manipulating the exposure (?). What does the software tell the processor to do to the light, more light less light more exposure less exposure?

Exposure (shutter speed / aperture / ISO) aren't affected. The contrast setting expands or shrinks the overall range of tonal values in the image. Basically, increasing contrast makes bright tones brighter and dark tones darker.

Thank you, I was noticing on some indoor shots with outside details in play that the brights were getting blown and was trying to understand increase in contrast with the loss of image content in the bright areas. Anyways realized that I did not completely understand how it was doing it....
