Shorty Story

The riddle of the disappearing Shorties added a complex scan technique to my recipe pool. Tossing in a swap order with a Seventeen scan, I began the complex survey looking for different densities of Shorties and Seventeens. Once the baseline was established, I added a dash of Electron pattern scanning to complete the scan set.

Crunching the stream of information from the scan, it became possible to correlate inactivity with an absence of free Seventeens and a high concentration of Shorties. Where the ratio was reversed, an absence of Shorties and a nominal concentration of Seventeens, were active network channels and frequent pulses. While this correlation did not hold true for every instance, it was correct far more often than not, yielding considerable predictive value.

In my previous foray into this central network, I had a great deal of difficulty catching entire burst sequences for lack of knowing where to scan. Discovering the fact that these Shorties invoke a shutdown of network pathways will save time in pattern searches. They, along with the string of five Sixes that I found earlier, are clear indicators of regions that should be checked later.
